Security professionals, you know encryption is essential to protect your data. In this book, learn about the cryptography fundamentals—and then apply them! Explore algorithms for symmetric and asymmetric cryptography and see how to use encryption strategies to enforce data and web security. Put modern cryptography principles to work in real-world scenarios: cloud environments, cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and more. Build the cryptography skills you need to manage today’s security threats!

Includes a foreword by Dr. Taher Elgamal, inventor of the Elgamal cryptosystem and known as the "father of SSL".
  • Use symmetric and asymmetric cryptography to protect your data
  • Work with hash functions, digital signatures, MAC, PKI, and encryption key management
  • Learn about homomorphic encryption, post-quantum encryption, cloud encryption, and other applications of modern cryptography
