A. Kucherenko and A. V. Panchenko. The book "Алгебра и теория чисел для криптографии" (Algebra and Number Theory for Cryptography) by A. A. Kucherenko and A. V. Panchenko is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental concepts and techniques of algebra and number theory, with a focus on their applications in cryptography. The authors present a systematic approach to understanding the mathematical foundations of cryptography, making it an essential resource for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the field. The book begins with an introduction to the basics of algebra and number theory, providing a solid foundation for readers who may be less familiar with these topics. From there, the authors delve into more advanced concepts such as finite fields, ideals, and Galois theory, all of which are crucial for understanding modern cryptographic systems. They also explore the connections between algebra and number theory, demonstrating how these two branches of mathematics are intertwined and why they are so important for cryptography. One of the key themes throughout the book is the evolution of technology and its impact on society. The authors emphasize the need for individuals to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge, as this will be critical for survival in a rapidly changing world. They argue that by studying and understanding the process of technological advancement, we can better prepare ourselves for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
