Reviews

“It is most interesting to combine a classical mathematical topic with a new evolving programming language and exactly this is obtained by this book. … This material is used as a case study for their implementation for solving problems in theoretical and practical cryptography. The ‘roadmap’ of the content of this also quite interesting.” (Panayiotis Vlamos, zbMATH 1480.00002, 2022)
