Modern Cryptanalysis: Techniques for Advanced Code Breaking

Acknowledgments

I thank the many people who helped me shape this book. First and foremost, I thank my fiancée, Thursday Bram, for her support throughout the writing of this book. I thank Sujeet Shenoi and The University of Tulsa for providing me with the venue to teach the original class (as well as all of the students in that original class). I thank John Hale, Gavin Manes, and Mauricio Papa for being great mentors over the years. And of course, I thank my mother, Glenda, and my father, Roger, as well as my sisters, Rikki and Jessi, and my step-father, Richard, for all of their continued support throughout the years.

I could not have written the book without Carol Long and John Sleeva's support at Wiley. Also, a great many thanks to Donald Knuth, Leslie Lamport, John D. Hobby, and the hundreds of other individuals who have given their support in TeX, LaTeX, MetaPost, and related typesetting projects.
