Fundamentals of Cryptography - by Ethan Scott (Hardcover)

About the Book

Cryptology involves both the practice and study of methods for ensuring secure communication despite the presence of adversarial actions. It involves both analyzing and devising protocols to safeguard private messages from being accessed by the public or third parties. The core aspects of modern cryptography revolve around ensuring data confidentiality, authentication, data integrity, and non-repudiation. Modern cryptography encompasses several specialized fields, including symmetric-key cryptography, cryptanalysis, cryptosystems, public-key cryptography and cryptographic primitives. Cryptography benefits from contributions from diverse disciplines such as computer science, communication science, mathematics, physics and electrical engineering. Its practical applications extend to electronic commerce, computer passwords, military communications, chip-payment cards and digital currencies. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core concepts related to cryptography. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to cryptography. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
