Ten Modern Cryptographic Algorithms

Learn the history, operation, applications (and flaws) of 10 key algorithms that have shaped cryptographic data protection.

Algorithms are critical to online cryptographic data protection, and this book gives you a tour of the 10 most significant among them--covering their operation, applications, and flaws. Through real-world examples using each algorithm, you'll get a big-picture view of why cryptography matters and how it can help keep our everyday networked environments safe.

Rather than focusing on mathematical and computational theory, the author--an award-winning scholar--demonstrates how to select the right solution for real-world security problems. Each chapter gives an in-depth understanding of a different algorithm, discussing its history, operation, and applications for data protection. You'll learn how these algorithms operate in practice, without sacrificing mathematical rigor. You'll also learn how the algorithms were improved over time, giving you an in-depth understanding of the history of their development and how to work with their existing flaws.

學習10個關鍵演算法的歷史、運作、應用（以及缺陷），這些演算法塑造了加密資料保護的形式。演算法對於線上加密資料保護至關重要，本書將帶您深入了解其中最重要的10個演算法，包括它們的運作、應用和缺陷。透過使用每個演算法的實際案例，您將全面了解為何加密技術至關重要，以及它如何幫助保護我們日常的網絡環境安全。本書不僅著重於數學和計算理論，作者（一位屢獲殊榮的學者）還展示了如何選擇適合實際安全問題的正確解決方案。每一章節都深入探討不同演算法的運作原理、歷史和資料保護應用，讓您了解這些演算法在實際應用中的運作方式，同時不失數學嚴謹性。您還將了解這些演算法如何隨著時間的推移進行改進，深入了解它們的發展歷史以及如何處理現有的缺陷。
