From the reviews: "The book ... provides introduction to both cryptology and complexity theory with special emphasis on their mutual pervasion. ... All chapters have a set of exercises and problems as well as a summary describing the historical development of the notions and results presented and providing bibliographic remarks and references for further study. A comprehensive bibliography makes the book a valuable source for the researchers, teachers, and even practitioners working in complexity theory and cryptology. A useful book." (Jozef Vyskoc, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1082, 2006) "This book of 478 pages is an introduction to complexity theory and cryptology. It is very well suited for the reader who wants to learn these two closely related areas in theoretical computer science. ... The nice aspect of this book is that it treats the two topics in an integrated approach. ... The book could be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in computer sciences, mathematics, and engineering. Each chapter ends with pages of summary and bibliographic remarks." (Yongge Wang, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 c) "The book is intended as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and is based on author's long experience of teaching a series of interrelated courses on cryptocomplexity. ... the book contains a very well organized index. ... The book is well written and interesting. ... I like the book and I think it is a good textbook for graduate students and for advanced undergraduate students. ... a solid textbook for advanced students and a very good, comprehensive, reference for researchers."
