Serious cryptography : a practical introduction to modern encryption / by Jean-Philippe Aumasson ; foreword by Matthew D. Green. - San Francisco : No Starch Press, 2018 - xxii, 282 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Encryption -- Randomness -- Cryptographic security -- Block ciphers -- Stream ciphers -- Hash functions -- Keyed hashing -- Authenticated encryption -- Hard problems -- RSA -- Diffie-Hellman -- Elliptic curves -- TLS -- Quantum and post-quantum.
"This practical guide to modern encryption breaks down the
fundamental mathematical concepts at the heart of
cryptography without shying away from meaty discussions of
how they work. You'll learn about authenticated encryption,
secure randomness, hash functions, block ciphers, and
public-key techniques such as RSA and elliptic curve
cryptography. You'll also learn: Key concepts in
cryptography, such as computational security, attacker
models, and forward secrecy The strengths and limitations
of the TLS protocol behind HTTPS secure websites Quantum
computation and post-quantum cryptography About various
vulnerabilities by examining numerous code examples and
use cases How to choose the best algorithm or protocol and
ask vendors the right questions Each chapter includes a
discussion of common implementation mistakes using real-
world examples and details what could go wrong and how to
avoid these pitfalls. Whether you're a seasoned
practitioner or a beginner looking to dive into the field,
Serious Cryptography will provide a complete survey of
modern encryption and its applications."
