Book by ECE Alumnus and Maryland Professor Enters Second Edition

A book co-written by ECE alumnus Wade Trappe and University of Maryland Math Department Professor Lawrence C. Washington in 2001 has been updated in a second edition. Introduction to Cryptography with Coding Theory grew out of a cryptography class the two developed at the University of Maryland.

Trappe was a doctoral student in applied mathematics and scientific computing at the time; he was affiliated with both the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Institute for Systems Research (ISR), and was advised by Professor K.J. Ray Liu (ECE/ISR). He is now an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Rutgers University.
