Cryptography, Number Theory, and AI Security

In an era where digital systems control communication, finance, healthcare, governance, and national infrastructure, security has become one of the defining challenges of the twenty-first century. Every secure message, online transaction, digital identity, blockchain network, and intelligent system depends upon a powerful combination of mathematics, cryptography, and computational intelligence.

Cryptography, Number Theory, and AI Security: Foundations and Applications provides a comprehensive exploration of the mathematical foundations of cybersecurity and the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in modern security systems.

At the heart of contemporary cryptographic systems lies number theory—a branch of mathematics once regarded as purely theoretical but now essential for securing the world's digital infrastructure. Concepts such as prime numbers, modular arithmetic, discrete logarithms, elliptic curves, and computational hardness assumptions form the basis of secure communication protocols used across the Internet.

At the same time, Artificial Intelligence is reshaping cybersecurity. Machine learning systems can detect intrusions, identify malware, prevent fraud, analyze threats, and automate defense mechanisms. Yet AI also introduces new risks, including adversarial attacks, model poisoning, data leakage, and automated cyber offensives.

This book bridges these interconnected domains and presents a unified framework for understanding:

• Mathematical Foundations of Cryptography
