Abstract
In this chapter we present the concept of a lattice. Traditionally in cryptography lattices have been used in cryptanalysis to break systems, and we shall see applications of this in Chapter 15. However, recently they have also been used to construct cryptographic systems with special properties, as we shall see in Chapter 17.
