Cryptology Unlocked (Paperback)

Description

Cryptology includes data encryption (cryptography), cryptographic protocols and code breaking to provide the fundamentals of data security.

This new book introduces cryptography in a unique and non-mathematical style. Cryptology Unlocked explains encryption, crypto analysis (classic and modern algorithms), cryptographic protocols, digital standards and much more. This innovative book will reveal some of the dangers of code breaking, and highlights ways to master code-breaking and attack algorithms.

Topics range from the simplest enciphering methods to precise investigations of modern algorithms.  Everything you need to understand the delicate balance between complex and actual information, with a peppering of anecdotes along the way.

Join the cryptology adventure, and understand:

• The difference between good and bad algorithms
• Whether or not secret services can read all messages
• The real-world affect cryptography had on World War II
• The unspoken security risks behind digital mobile standards GSM and UMTS
• The everyday implications on digital signatures, PINs and online banking

描述

加密學包括數據加密（密碼學）、加密協議和破解密碼，以提供數據安全的基礎。這本新書以獨特且非數學的方式介紹了加密學。《加密學解密》解釋了加密、密碼分析（經典和現代算法）、加密協議、數字標準等等。這本創新的書籍將揭示一些破解密碼的危險，並強調掌握破解密碼和攻擊算法的方法。主題涵蓋從最簡單的加密方法到對現代算法的精確研究。這本書將幫助你理解複雜和實際信息之間的微妙平衡，並穿插一些趣聞軼事。

加入加密學的冒險之旅，了解以下內容：
- 好算法和壞算法的區別
- 秘密服務是否能夠閱讀所有消息
- 加密學對第二次世界大戰的現實影響
- 數字移動標準GSM和UMTS背後的未說的安全風險
- 數字簽名、個人識別碼（PIN）和網上銀行的日常影響
