This is awesome! But it's 400 pages and part II and III are not present :| Also I find the structure kind of odd. I is symmetric, II asymmetric and III protocols.

From the Preface: The current draft only contains part I. Parts II and III are forthcoming.

I know. I'm just pointing at the fact that this is already a lot of pages just for a third of the book.

The only lattice methods that come to mind are asymmetric (subset sum and NTRU). What symmetric latticr methods are there?

I was also thinking of lattice in Cryptanalysis but I guess this is a book about Cryptography not Crypta

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have two answers, the best one and the immediate one. The best course is to reach out to the authors and see if they will publish the LaTeX that it was used to produce that PDF (or, of course, see if LaTeX is epub aware or such). The immediate answer to your question is that I only just now tried pdf2htmlEX ( https://coolwanglu.github.io/pdf2htmlEX/ ) and was stunned how good it was. If you are on OSX, one can "bre…

for that kind of pdf I'm sure it works fine, for more complex pdf I'm not sure...

If you don't like it, I'm sure the project will refund your purchase price.

Dan Boney is awesome. I really like that he is sharing his classes and materials online (I would highly recommend his classes in Stanford[0] and his coursera class[2] as well). I think this is still a work in progress / draft so don't expect to have an ebook available yet. [1] CS*55 series [2] https://www.coursera.org/course/crypto2

That's "Boneh", not "Boney." (It means "builder" in Hebrew.)

That was actually a typo, but thanks for the translation. And apologies...
