• Written by authors known within the academic cryptography community, this book presents the latest developments in current research
• Unique in its combination of both algorithmic-level design and hardware-level implementation; this all-round approach - algorithm to implementation – covers security from start to completion
• Deals with AES (Advanced Encryption standard), one of the most used symmetric-key ciphers, which helps the reader to learn the fundamental theory of cryptanalysis and practical applications of side-channel analysis

Kazuo Sakiyama: Associate Professor, The University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, Japan.
Dr Sakiyama’s area of expertise includes digital circuit design, cryptographic embedded systems, and secure computing. He has been working on digital circuit design since 1996. Since 2001 he has focused on cryptographic embedded systems, and has been teaching hardware security in several lectures of advanced cryptography and PBL (project-based learning) courses.

Yu Sasaki: Researcher, NTT Secure Platform Laboratories, NTT Corporation, Tokyo, Japan.
He has been working on the cryptography since 2004. His research interest has focused on security evaluation of cryptographic protocols and cryptanalysis on symmetric-key primitives.
