I forwarded this on to someone I know who would be perfect for the DS role; on a separate note, it is _very_ cool to see the amount of effort you put into the landing page for that role. A veritable diamond in the rough of all these copy-pasted wasteland job reqs. Here's to you finding the perfect fit!

In my experience working through the first few chapters, I'll say that the attack game framework is pretty standard across lots of course materials from universities (at least the ones that I've found posted online). One thing that is not consistent is the notation used; it seems like there are multiple competing (but essentially equivalent) sets of notations used in attack game/advantage discussions.

I've worked through the entire Paar book (which is excellent), and I've made a number of attempts at getting through Boneh and Shoup (which is also excellent). I will say that there is a good overlap in content, but the Boneh/Shoup is solidly graduate-level, whereas Paar is a good and solid introduction for an undergraduate student.

Plug for a friend's book that is forthcoming later this summer, "Topology: A Categorical Approach". [1]

I can't speak to its contents per se, because there isn't a preview yet, but I can speak to the quality of exposition in the lead author's math blog. [2]

I haven't ever dug too much into category theory for its own sake (usually just one-off chapters or appendices that get included in books on other topics), but my understanding is that it unites a lot of mathematical topics. As such, this book might be of more interest to you than, say, a classical point-set topology text, given your desire to uncover connections. That being said, there may be other category-theory-flavored books on other more strictly algebraic topics that would suit your fancy more.
