The goal of this chapter is to provide a quick overview of the main conversion mechanisms for numbers and strings that are specific to the cryptography field. Representing numbers and binary strings in different bases is one of the most critical steps in cryptography. This chapter covers the main steps and discusses how they are done properly in MATLAB.

A common example used in cryptographic operations is the process of converting integers into lowercase and ...
