  An introduction to number theory with cryptography
Kraft J., Washington L., Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2013. 572 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-482214-41-3)

Over 50 years ago, the mathematician Leonard Dickson said, “Thank God that number theory is unsullied by any application.” As it turns out, much later, number theory formed the basis of many, many applications. In p...
