Summary
We present fundamental notions of cryptology and explain how they are used in the context of information and communication security. Both symmetric and asymmetric technologies are covered, as well as basic security protocols. We also cover practical aspects throughout the text. As a large example we describe how cryptographic methods are used in securing mobile communications in cellular networks.
