The Manga Guide to Cryptography

Cryptography is hard, but it’s less hard when it’s filled with adorable Japanese manga. The latest addition to the Manga Guide series, The Manga Guide to Cryptography, turns the art of encryption and decryption into plain, comic illustrated English.

As you follow Inspector Jun Meguro in his quest to bring a cipher-wielding thief to justice, you’ll learn how cryptographic ciphers work. (Ciphers are the algorithms at the heart of cryptography.) Like all books in the Manga Guide series, The Manga Guide to Cryptography is illustrated throughout with memorable Japanese manga as it dives deep into advanced cryptography topics, such as classic substitution, polyalphabetic, and transposition ciphers; symmetric-key algorithms like block and DES (Data Encryption Standard) ciphers; and how to use public key encryption technology. It also explores practical applications of encryption such as digital signatures, password security, and identity fraud countermeasures.

The Manga Guide to Cryptography is the perfect introduction to cryptography for programmers, security professionals, aspiring cryptographers, and anyone who finds cryptography just a little bit hard.

密碼學是一門困難的學科，但當它充滿可愛的日本漫畫時，就變得不那麼困難了。《漫畫指南系列》的最新作品，《漫畫指南：密碼學》，將加密和解密的藝術以平實、以漫畫插圖為主的英文形式呈現。

當你跟隨偵探目黑順的冒險，追捕一名使用密碼的小偷，你將學習到密碼學中的密碼算法是如何運作的。（密碼是密碼學的核心算法。）就像《漫畫指南系列》的所有書籍一樣，《漫畫指南：密碼學》通過令人難忘的日本漫畫插圖，深入探討了高級密碼學主題，如經典替換、多表密碼和置換密碼；對稱密鑰算法，如區塊和DES（資料加密標準）密碼；以及如何使用公鑰加密技術。它還探討了加密的實際應用，如數字簽名、密碼安全和身份詐騙對策。

《漫畫指南：密碼學》是程序員、安全專業人員、有志於成為密碼學家的人以及任何覺得密碼學有點困難的人的完美入門指南。
