Understanding Cryptography: From Established Symmetric and Asymmetric Ciphers to Post-Quantum Algorithms
Paar, Christof
Understanding Cryptography: From Established Symmetric and Asymmetric Ciphers to Post-Quantum Algorithms - 2 - Berlin, Germany Springer Verlag 2024 - 543
Understanding and employing cryptography has become central for securing virtually any digital application, whether user app, cloud service, or even medical implant.
Heavily revised and updated, the long-awaited second edition of Understanding Cryptography follows the unique approach of making modern cryptography accessible to a broad audience, requiring only a minimum of prior knowledge. After introducing basic cryptography concepts, this seminal textbook covers nearly all symmetric, asymmetric, and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms currently in use in applications-ranging from cloud computing and smart phones all the way to industrial systems, block chains, and cryptocurrencies.
Topics and features:
Opens with a foreword by cryptography pioneer and Turing Award winner, Ron Rivest
Helps develop a comprehensive understanding of modern applied cryptography
Provides a thorough introduction to post-quantum cryptography consisting of the three standardized cipher families
Includes for every chapter a comprehensive problem set, extensive examples, and a further-reading discussion
Communicates, using a unique pedagogical approach, the essentials about foundations and use in practice, while keeping mathematics to a minimum
Supplies up-to-date security parameters for all cryptographic algorithms
Incorporates chapter reviews and discussion on such topics as historical and societal context
