Understanding Cryptography: From Established Symmetric and Asymmetric Ciphers to Post-Quantum Algorithms, (Hardcover)

Understanding Cryptography follows the unique approach of making modern cryptography accessible to a broad audience, requiring only a minimum of prior knowledge.

After introducing basic cryptography concepts, this seminal textbook covers nearly all symmetric, asymmetric, and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms currently in use in applications--ranging from cloud computing and smart phones all the way to industrial systems, block chains, and cryptocurrencies.
