Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, mathematical equations, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Encrypt the plaintext blocks using single DES with the [K1] key."

A block of code/mathematical equations are set as follows:

t = (3XP^2 + a)/ 2YP
t= (3*2^2 + 0)/ 2*22= 12/ 44 = Reduce[44*x == 12, x, Modulus -> (67)] = 49
t = 49

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Hash functions are candidates for being quantum resistant, which means that hash functions can overcome a quantum computer's attack under certain conditions."
