Hands-On Cryptography with Python: Leverage the power of Python to encrypt and decrypt data
Learn to evaluate and compare data encryption methods and attack cryptographic systems
Key FeaturesExplore popular and important cryptographic methodsCompare cryptographic modes and understand their limitationsLearn to perform attacks on cryptographic systemsBook DescriptionCryptography is essential for protecting sensitive information, but it is often performed inadequately or incorrectly.
Hands-On Cryptography with Python starts by showing you how to encrypt and evaluate your data. The book will then walk you through various data encryption methods,such as obfuscation, hashing, and strong encryption, and will show how you can attack cryptographic systems. You will learn how to create hashes, crack them, and will understand why they are so different from each other. In the concluding chapters, you will use three NIST-recommended the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), and the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA).
By the end of this book, you will be able to deal with common errors in encryption.

Passible.
Some good information, but poor editing and bad code examples really made this book hard to follow. As well the scripting infromation provided was quite bad, I can convert from python2 with little trouble, but found the code to be clunky and unreadble. I did like the technical information, but I think ill check out the documention for the modules covered in the book.
