Secret Key Cryptography

Auflage 1
Explore the fascinating and rich world of Secret Key cryptography! This book provides practical methods for encrypting messages, an interesting and entertaining historical perspective, and an incredible collection of ciphers and codesincluding 30 unbreakable methods.

In Secret Key Cryptography: Ciphers, from simple to unbreakable you will:

  • Measure the strength of your ciphers and learn how to guarantee their security
  • Construct and incorporate data-compression codes
  • Generate true random numbers in bulk
  • Construct huge primes and safe primes
  • Add an undetectable backdoor to a cipher
  • Defeat hypothetical ultracomputers that could be developed decades from now
  • Construct 30 unbreakable ciphers

Secret Key Cryptography gives you a toolbox of cryptographic techniques and Secret Key methods. The book's simple, non-technical language is easy to understand and accessible for any reader, even without the advanced mathematics normally required for cryptography. You'll learn how to create and solve ciphers, as well as how to measure their strength. As you go, you'll explore both historic ciphers and groundbreaking new approachesincluding a never-before-seen way to implement the uncrackable One-Time Pad algorithm.

about the technology

Secret Key cryptography is the backbone of all modern computing infrastructure. Secret Key ciphers use the same key to encrypt and decrypt messages. Properly designed, these algorithms are efficient and practical. Some Secret Key approaches are uncrackable, even under attacks backed by supercomputers or quantum technology!

about the book

Secret Key Cryptography teaches anyone how to create a wide range of cipherseven if you have no background in math or creating codes. You'll combine Secret Key techniques to achieve ciphers that are effectively uncrackable and avoid common pitfalls that result in strong-looking but weak ciphers. The book reveals scores of different cipher methods, including both historic examples and current innovations in the field.
