Description
Cryptography: A Broad Introduction to the Art and Science of Keeping Secrets. Understanding cryptography is essential for anyone concerned with keeping their communications confidential. From gym locker codes to online interactions, we all keep secrets that we share only with those we trust. This book provides a broad and accessible introduction to cryptography, explaining how it works and its future implications. Louridas takes the reader on a journey from ancient roots to modern applications, covering classical cryptography, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, cryptographic protocols, and quantum and post-Quantum cryptography. Along the way, he explains key concepts that underpin our digital lives, including computer security and the links between cryptography and these fields.
