[Cryptography] Books on modern cryptanalysis
The recent flood of discussions has touched on many modern attacks on cryptosystems. I'm long out of the crypto world [I last had a crypto clearance *before* differential cryptanalysys was public info!]. Attacks that leak a bit at a time strike me as amazing. I remember reading about attacks that involved running chips at lower voltage than they were supposed to have and that somehow allowed them to be compromised, etc. Anyhow, are there any (not *too* technical) books on the modern techniques for attacking cryptosystems?

How modern is modern? :-) I have modern cryptanalysys by Christopher Swenson (or at least did have before it was loaned and I moved) and it was an excellent book and crucially was very accessible. Also available in kindle format now. It is 5 years old now though.

Really depends what you mean by attacking; there are attacks at the protocol level (e.g., padding-oracle attacks), at the crypto level (e.g., differential cryptanalysis), and at the physical level (e.g., side-channel attacks). As a general introduction to modern crypto that covers the first two categories a bit, I recommend Introduction to Modern Cryptography by myself and Y. Lindell (soon to come out with a 2nd edition containing even more attacks!). For block-cipher cryptanalysis, I have been very impressed by the material in The Block Cipher Companion by Knudsen and Robshaw. ___ The cryptography mailing list cryptography@metzdowd.com http://www.metzdowd.com/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
