Description:
A Practical Guide to Cryptography Principles and Security Practices
Employ cryptography in real-world security situations using the
hands-on information contained in this book. InfoSec expert Chuck
Easttom lays out essential math skills and fully explains how to
implement cryptographic algorithms in today's data protection
landscape. Find out how to use ciphers and hashes, generate
random keys, handle VPN and WiFi security, and encrypt VoIP,
Email, and Web communications.
Modern Cryptography: Applied Mathematics for Encryption and
Information Security covers cryptanalysis, steganography, and
cryptographic backdoors.
Learn the necessary number theory, discrete math, and algebra
Employ symmetric ciphers, including Feistel and substitution-
permutation ciphers Understand asymmetric cryptography algorithms
Design s-boxes that maximize output non-linearity Deploy
cryptographic hashes Create cryptographic keys using pseudo
random number generators Encrypt Web traffic using SSL/TLS
Secure VPN, WiFi, and SSH communications Work with
cryptanalysis and steganography Explore government, military, and
intelligence agency applications.

Conclusion:
This book was designed to bring cryptography to the general security
community. You need not have any mathematics background beyond basic
secondary school algebra. The book will cover the math you need.
Furthermore, the book includes chapters on topics rarely covered in
cryptography texts: cryptographic backdoors, military cryptography, and
applied cryptography.
The book is really a journey through cryptography, starting with historical
cryptography and then moving into the mathematical foundations necessary to
understand modern cryptography. The book then moves on to the symmetric
and asymmetric algorithms used today. It also includes chapters on Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL), cryptanalysis, military applications for cryptography, and
the future of cryptography. The book is replete with links to external sources
where you can get additional information, particularly in the chapters on
mathematics and number theory. Each chapter ends with a series of questions
to test your knowledge. The Appendix includes a set of tutorials for using some
cryptography tools. These make excellent labs if this book is used as a
textbook.
