Book Description

The current book piece is an initial step in the marvelous feat of the cryptographic area. This is a precise concordance of renowned algorithms, with a focus on those which are assumed to be practically valuable for security purposes. It confers the significant cryptographic tools that an individual requires for securing a system in a systematic manner. In detailing the fast pacing domain, the author has accomplished an incredible documentation in affording a comprehensive up-to-date information about cryptographic schemes and crypto cracking. Topics encompassed range from basic level considerations like random number generation to high-level topics such as encryption algorithms like AES. This volume’s exceptional style and organization make it indispensable as a desk reference and self-contained guide. Certainly, several chapters like Cryptography and Fundamentals, Secret Key Encryption, Public-Key Encryption, Hashing, Authentication, Digital Certificates, and Crypto Cracking interrupt fresh ground in their distinct presentations and informative content. In the subtle distinction between exhaustive conduct and comprehensive reporting of each item, the author has selected to pen down directly and simply, thereby optimally permitting different components to be elucidated with their significant information, pictorial representation, and tabulations. While instigated by the practical applications, the author has inscribed a book that will be fascinating to students and researchers by being inclusive of sufficient discussions about theoretical considerations. Vital mathematical formulations and illustrative coding are clearly and crisply presented. The book will completely serve as a guide for various security professionals, malware analysts, and security architects to discover their relevant needs to achieve appropriate security updates for smart devices through the employment of cryptographic algorithms.
