Solve the Cypher for My Recommendation C. Smitty Great intro to cryptology book. I wanted something that covered the basics and set me up to dive deeper into the subject. I'm pleased to report this book did exactly that! It covers both the history and practical sides of cryptology. It also had a ton of examples and visual de. Roberto Rigolin Ferreira Lopes said Edifying fast trip through cryptography. This is a fast trip from fundamental concepts to the everyday use of cryptography. I particularly enjoyed the stops at the use of encryption and at the key distribution challenges. The whole thing is put together in practical examples and you are then set to dive in details fo
It explains what algorithms do, how they are used, the risks associated with using them, and why governments should be concerned. This book is a clear and informative introduction to cryptography and data protection--subjects of considerable social and political importance. Important areas are highlighted, such as Stream Ciphers, block ciphers, public key algorithms, digital signatures, and applications such as e-commerce. This book highlights the explosive impact of cryptography on modern society, with, for example, the evolution of the internet and the introduction of more sophisticated banking methods.
