Description
Understanding Cryptography: A Comprehensive Guide for Students and Practitioners Cryptography is now an integral part of our daily lives, from secure online transactions to the protection of sensitive information in medical implants. As a result, designers need a thorough understanding of applied cryptography. This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to modern cryptography, covering key techniques such as stream ciphers, block ciphers, public-key cryptosystems, and digital signatures. The authors focus on explaining the essentials of cryptography while keeping mathematics to a minimum, moving quickly from foundations to practical implementations. The book covers recent topics like lightweight ciphers for RFIDs and mobile devices, as well as current key-length recommendations. With its emphasis on examples, problems, and chapter reviews, this textbook is suitable for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses, as well as self-study by engineers. The accompanying website offers additional resources, including slides, projects, and links to further study materials, making it an ideal choice for those looking to learn about cryptography.
