Practical Cryptography in Python: Learning Correct Cryptography by Example by Se

Description: Practical Cryptography in Python by Seth James Nielson, Christopher K. Monson User level: Int FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Develop a greater intuition for the proper use of cryptography. This book teaches the basics of writing cryptographic algorithms in Python, demystifies cryptographic internals, and demonstrates common ways cryptography is used incorrectly.Cryptography is the lifeblood of the digital worlds security infrastructure. From governments around the world to the average consumer, most communications are protected in some form or another by cryptography. These days, even Google searches are encrypted. Despite its ubiquity, cryptography is easy to misconfigure, misuse, and misunderstand.Developers building cryptographic operations into their applications are not typically experts in the subject, and may not fully grasp the implication of different algorithms, modes, and other parameters. The concepts in this book are largely taught by example, including incorrect uses of cryptography and how "bad" cryptography can be broken. By digging into the guts of cryptography, you can experience what works, what doesnt, and why.What Youll LearnUnderstand where cryptography is used, why, and how it gets misusedKnow what secure hashing is used for and its basic propertiesGet up to speed on algorithms and modes for block ciphers such as AES, and see how bad configurations breakUse message integrity and/or digital signatures to protect messagesUtilize modern symmetric ciphers such as AES-GCM and CHACHAPractice the basics of public key cryptography, including ECDSA signaturesDiscover how RSA encryption can be broken if insecure padding is usedEmploy TLS connections for secure communicationsFind out how certificates work and modern improvements such as certificate pinning and certificate transparency (CT) logsWho This Book Is ForIT administrators and software developers familiar with Python. Although readers may have some knowledge of cryptography, the book assumes that the reader is starting from scratch. Back Cover Develop a greater intuition for the proper use of cryptography.

He is also an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University where he teaches network security and has also served as the director of advanced research projects at the Information Security Institute. As part of his Hopkins work, he co-founded the cryptodoneright.org knowledge base, through a generous grant from Cisco. Christopher K. Monson has a PhD in machine learning, and has spent over a decade at Google in various engineering, machine learning, and leadership roles. He has broad experience writing and teaching programming courses in multiple languages, and has worked in document password recovery, malware detection, and large-scale secure computing. He is currently serving as the chief technology officer at Data Machines Corp. and teaches cloud computing security as a lecturer at the Johns Hopkins University Information Security Institute.
