Book Of Secrets
Cryptography Handbook For Beginners
Let’s start with a question
You Enter your office and you need to enter a 4-character password
The keypad has 10 digits
“How many password possibilities are there? “
Using basic math, The answer is 10 to the power of 4 ( you multiply 10 by itself 4 times )
This question actually leads to some basic crypto terminology
- The secret key complexity is 10 digits from 0–9
- The key length is 4 characters
- The keyspace, the number of possibilities is 10,000 combinations
When we deal with cryptography, the art of hiding things, anyone knows what is the cipher algorithm that generated the cipher message. But the attacker/hacker tries to find out what is the secret key
“Book Of Secrets”, will walk you through the most important cryptographic concepts from the classic era up until now. we will look at different use cases and learn how encryption and cryptanalysis work.
This book is a fascinating journey to one of the most secret and unknown skill
Every chapter includes hands-on practices
It is written for beginners and intermediate users
