Book summary:

Cryptography is one of the most important aspects of information security technologies. It is essential for protecting digital assets and mitigating the risks associated with increased global connectivity. The digital world is entirely dependent on security algorithms and protocols to verify identity, protect user data and more. Recent developments in networking have been accompanied by similar advances in cryptography, which is more than ever at the heart of digital life. This book provides a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the algorithms, protocols and standards that protect the modern Internet.

Built around theoretical foundations and hundreds of specific algorithms, this book includes the basic mathematical concepts needed to understand cryptography. Readers will find over 450 corrected problems and exercises, as well as a detailed presentation of algorithms for symmetric and asymmetric encryption, random number generation, authentication and much more.
