Venable E-Mail: davidjvenable@yahoo.com *Apr 3, 2007 1 Introduction This paper is the result of several years of study and thought, and several days of writing. I hope that you will all read it and consider what I have to say. I have written the paper in the format commonly used by those in my field, as that is comfortable for me. I hope that this is not an obstacle. I have divided this paper into three primary sections, followed by two appendices.

Venable E-Mail: davidjvenable@yahoo.com Abstract: A brief introduction to cryptography, covering different types of cryptosystems, including block ciphers, stream ciphers, and public key cryptosystems. Encryption and decryption operations are discussed for each cryptosystem. This is followed by a brief discussion of digital signatures, hash algorithms, and mathematical background. Finally, there is a real-world example of key generation, encryption, and decryption using the RSA algorithm Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:37:46 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/926281/An-Introduction-to-Cryptography-for-NonCryptographers-with-Mathematical-Background
