The book covers a comprehensive range of topics in cryptanalysis and secure multi-party computation. It begins with an exploration of the EMD mode of operation and the optimality of various distinguishers. A toolbox for cryptanalysis is introduced, featuring linear and affine equivalence algorithms. The discussion on secure multi-party computation includes two-threshold broadcast and the limitations of universally composable two-party computation without setup assumptions. Fair secure two-party computation is also examined. In the realm of zero-knowledge protocols, the text delves into resettable zero-knowledge in the weak public-key model, simulatable commitments, and enhancing zero-knowledge protocols using signatures. Foundations of complexity-theoretic security are discussed, alongside efficient proofs of plaintext knowledge and their applications. Public key encryption is addressed through various schemes, including those based on polynomial reconstruction and CCA2-security under general assumptions. The book also introduces new primitives like CAPTCHA for security and examines cryptanalysis techniques for stream ciphers and elliptic curve cryptography. Digital signatures are analyzed, including a scheme as secure as the Diffie-Hellman problem and aggregate signatures from bilinear maps. The importance of provable security is emphasized, alongside discussions on key exchange frameworks and information-theoretic cryptog
