The basic techniques of algebra and number theory useful in recent applications to cryptography and codes are developed, with the aim of being elementary and self-sufficient. The emphasis is on computational problems. This part of the volume can be useful as a textbook for a first course in algebra for mathematicians, computer scientists or engineers. Important applications of algebra and geometry to cryptography and codes are then illustrated. Both, cryptography and codes have significant applications in daily life which are illustrated here. Cryptography is developed in detail in much of its classic and current aspects, and both private and public key cryptography are developed. Cryptography with the use of elliptic curves on finite fields is also illustrated. A chapter introducing the subject is dedicated to linear codes.
