520			_aUnderstanding 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
