Computer System Security: Basic Concepts and Solved Exercises is designed to expose students and others to the basic aspects of computer security. It covers e-mail security; viruses and antivirus programs; program and network vulnerabilities; firewalls, address translation and filtering; cryptography; secure communications; secure applications; and security management. Written as an accompanying text for courses on network protocols, it also provides a basic tutorial for those whose livelihood is dependent upon secure systems. The solved exercises included have been taken from courses taught in the Communication Systems department at the EPFL.
2. Thomas Baignères, Pascal Junod, Yi Lu, Jean Monnerat, Serge Vaudenay, "A classical introduction to cryptography -- exercise book", Springer-Verlag, 2006. ISBN 0-387-27943-2.

This companion exercise and solution book to A Classical Introduction to Cryptography: Applications for Communications Security contains a carefully revised version of teaching material used by the authors and given as examinations to advanced-level students of the Cryptography and Security Lecture at EPFL from 2000 to mid-2005. A Classical Introduction to Cryptography Exercise Book covers a majority of the subjects that make up today's cryptology, including symmetric or public-key cryptography, cryptographic protocols, design, cryptanalysis, and implementation of cryptosystems. Exercises do not require an extensive background in mathematics, since the most important notions are introduced and discussed in many of the exercises. The authors expect the readers to be comfortable with basic facts of discrete probability theory, discrete mathematics, calculus, algebra, and computer science. Following the model of A Classical Introduction to Cryptography: Applications for Communications Security, exercises related to the more advanced parts of the textbook are marked with a star.

Les attaques informatiques sont aujourd'hui l'un des fléaux de notre civilisation moderne. Chaque semaine amène son lot d'alertes concernant des failles dans la sécurité des systèmes d'information, exploitées par pirates et autres créateurs de virus. Ces attaques affectent tant les particuliers que les entreprises, avec pour ces dernières des conséquences financières parfois très lourdes. Le monde de l'enseignement a pris conscience de la nécessité de sensibiliser les générations de demain à la sécurité informatique. Il ne s'agit pas nécessairement de former des experts mais plutôt de mettre l'accent sur les risques liés à de mauvaises utilisation et gestion des systèmes informatiques. La majeure partie des incidents pourraient en effet être évités si les notions élémentaires de sécurité étaient connues. Cet ouvrage couvre les aspects fondamentaux de la sécurité informatique : courrier électronique ; virus et anti-virus ; vulnérabilités des programmes et des réseaux ; pare-feu : translation d'adresses, filtrage et proxies ; cryptographie ; communications sécurisées ; applications sécurisées ; gestion de la sécurité. Il s'appuie sur des enseignements de 1er et 2e cycles d'informatique et sur des connaissances en protocoles réseaux. Les exercices sont extraits des cours et examens de la section "Systèmes de communication" de l'école polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), de 2001 à 2004.
4. Doug Stinson, "Cryptographie: théorie et pratique" (in french), 2nd edition, french translation by Gildas Avoine, Pascal Junod and Serge Vaudenay, Vuibert, 2003. ISBN 2-7117-4800-6.

Cryptographie - Théorie et pratique est un ouvrage de référence, universellement traduit et apprécié. Il offre une présentation lisible, et sous forme mathématique précise, des thèmes majeurs de la cryptographie Il aborde tous les sujets de recherche contemporains, donnant au lecteur introduction et étude des résultats fondamentaux La plupart des algorithmes sont présentés sous forme de pseudo-programmes avec des exemples et une présentation informelle des idées sous-jacentes. Cet ouvrage donne une étude méthodique et compréhensible de tous les sujets essentiels en cryptologie : cryptographie à clef secrète, standard de chiffrement, systèmes à clef publique Cette deuxième édition prend en compte les avancées techniques de ces cinq dernières années. De nombreux nouveaux sujets ont ainsi été introduits et une mise à jour approfondie de ceux traités dans la première édition a été menée. La nouvelle édition aborde les sujets suivants : les plus récents standards FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) : AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm), ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm); l'utilisation de réseaux de substitution-permutation pour le chiffrement par blocs et les concepts d'analyse; les cryptanalyses linéaire et différentielle le modèle de l'oracle aléatoire pour les fonctions de hachage; la sécurité sémantique de RSA et OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding); l'attaque de Wiener sur les exposants RSA. Toutes ses qualités demeurent : explications claires et précises, rigueur mathématique, description en pseudo-code des algorithmes, nombreux exemples
