Cryptography Demystified: From Ciphers to Cybersecurity
Cryptography From Ciphers to Cybersecurity is a comprehensive and accessible guide that takes readers on a journey through the fascinating world of cryptography—from its ancient origins to its pivotal role in modern digital security. Designed for both beginners and professionals, the book breaks down complex mathematical theories and algorithmic constructs into practical, real-world concepts with clarity and precision.
Beginning with classical techniques like Caesar and Vigenère ciphers, the book builds up to the core principles of modern cryptography, including symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing, digital signatures, and key management. It delves into widely used standards such as AES, RSA, and ECC while also exploring cutting-edge topics like quantum cryptography and blockchain.
Through structured chapters, illustrative examples, and multi-language code snippets (Java, Python, Go), readers gain hands-on understanding and practical implementation skills. The book also includes detailed appendices with a glossary, recommended cryptographic libraries, and further reading for continuous learning.
Whether you're a software developer, security enthusiast, student, or researcher, Cryptography Demystified equips you with the foundational and advanced knowledge needed to design, analyze, and apply cryptographic systems in today’s data-driven world.
