Mathematical Background and Its Applicability

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Pro Cryptography and Cryptanalysis with C++20

Abstract

This chapter will discuss the importance of the probability theory and its tools for modern cryptography. We will show how the elements and notions from the probability theory can be implemented in real-life applications and programs, and we will explain the most important steps for a professional cryptographer to follow in the implementation process of cryptographic algorithms.
