Public-Key Cryptography

by Arto Salomaa

Published December 1990
Secret writing has become the object of extensive scientific studies because of new applications to data security, and, even more so, because of vistas opened by public-key cryptography which allows messages to be sent padlocked with the receiver's personal lock. Covered in this self-contained t

DNA Computing

by Gheorghe Paun, Grzegorz Rozenberg, and Arto Salomaa

Published 15 September 1998
This is the first book on DNA computing, a molecular approach that may revolutionize computing-replacing silicon with carbon and microchips with DNA molecules. The book starts with an introduction to DNA computing, exploring the power of complementarity, the basics of biochemistry, and language and computation theory. It then brings the reader to the most advanced theories develop thus far in this emerging research area.
