Serious Cryptography, 2nd Edition: A Practical Introduction to Modern Encryption

Description: Serious Cryptography, 2nd Edition by Jean-Philippe Aumasson Crypto can be cryptic. Serious Cryptography, 2nd Edition arms you with the tools you need to pave the way to understanding modern crypto.Crypto can be cryptic. Serious Cryptography, 2nd Edition arms you with the tools you need to pave the way to understanding modern crypto.This thoroughly revised and updated edition of the bestselling introduction to modern cryptography breaks down fundamental mathematical concepts without shying away from meaty discussions of how they work. In this practical guide, youll gain immeasurable insight into topics like authenticated encryption, secure randomness, hash functions, block ciphers, and public-key techniques such as RSA and elliptic curve cryptography.Youll find coverage of topics like-The basics of computational security, attacker models, and forward secrecyThe strengths and limitations of the TLS protocol behind HTTPS secure websitesQuantum computation and post-quantum cryptographyHow algorithms like AES, ECDSA, Ed25519, Salsa20, and SHA-3 workAdvanced techniques like multisignatures, threshold signing, and zero-knowledge proofsEach chapter includes a discussion of common implementation mistakes using real-world examples and details what could go wrong and how to avoid these pitfalls. And, true to form, youll get just enough math to show you how the algorithms work so that you can understand what makes a particular solution effective-and how they break.NEW TO THIS EDITION- This second edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest developments in cryptography. Youll also find a completely new chapter covering the cryptographic protocols in cryptocurrency and blockchain systems.Whether youre a seasoned practitioner or a beginner looking to dive into the field, Serious Cryptography will demystify this often intimidating topic. Youll grow to understand modern encryption and its applications so that you can make better decisions about what to implement, when, and how. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Jean-Philippe (JP) Aumasson holds a PhD in cryptography and has authored over 60 research articles. His cryptographic algorithms BLAKE2 and SipHash run in every Linux system, with his BLAKE3 renowned for its exceptional speed. Aumasson, currently CSO at Taurus SA, also conducts cryptography training and speaks at leading conferences worldwide such as Black Hat, DEF CON, Troopers, and Infiltrate. Review "Like having a wise friend explain all of cryptographys mysteries without making your head spin. The book stands out for its practical approach, which provides real-world applications and insights. It is considered mandatory reading for security engineers undergoing onboarding within my team, providing an essential foundation for their professional development." —Anastasiia Voitova, Head of security engineering at Cossack Labs"Fills [the need for an accessible and readable resource on cryptography], taking the reader on a journey through different cryptographic tools and how to use them, as well as the important what can go wrong sections that fill the book. . . Serious Cryptography is an enjoyable introduction to the field, and one that comes highly recommended." —Yehuda Lindell, Head of Cryptography at Coinbase"A properly serious introduction . . it has the right structure on which one can build a thorough understanding of cryptography."—Thomas Pornin, Technical Vice President, NCC Group Details ISBN1718503849 Author Jean-Philippe Aumasson Pages 360 Publisher No Starch Press,US Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781718503847 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-10-15 Imprint No Starch Press,US Subtitle A Practical Introduction to Modern Encryption Place of Publication San Francisco Country of Publication United States Audience General US Release Date 2024-10-15 ISBN-10 1718503849 UK Release Date 2024-10-15 DEWEY 005.824 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
