Master Cryptography with Python: From History to Real-World Implementation.
Key Features:
- Learn by building encryption algorithms and secure systems using Python.
- Master everything from basic ciphers to advanced cryptographic solutions.
- Develop the ability to identify and address vulnerabilities in encryption systems.
Book Description:
Cryptography is the backbone of modern digital security, and Python makes it accessible for everyone. Hands-on Cryptography with Python takes readers from foundational concepts to advanced cryptographic systems, equipping them with both theoretical understanding and practical implementation skills using Python.
You'll begin with setting up the platform and Installation and move on to understanding the basics of cryptography-exploring classic ciphers, their evolution, and their role in secure communication. Next, you'll advance to Symmetric Key Cryptography and Asymmetric Key Cryptography, learning how to implement encryption algorithms step-by-step with Python.
As you progress, you'll dive into essential cryptographic components like Hashing and Message Integrity, enabling you to safeguard data and verify its authenticity. The book then introduces miscellaneous cryptographic schemes and highlights the principle that "Security is Only as Strong as the Weakest Link", encouraging you to identify and address vulnerabilities.
Toward the final stages, you'll gain hands-on expertise in TLS Communication, the backbone of secure data exchange on the web. The journey culminates with an exploration of current trends in cryptography, including lightweight cryptography and post-quantum solutions, ensuring you stay ahead in this ever-evolving field.
Cryptography has become an indispensable cornerstone of our digital age, safeguarding data, securing communications, and enabling trust in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. This book aims to bridge the gap between theoretical cryptography and its real-world applications by providing a holistic journey through the fundamentals, modern developments, and implementation of cryptographic techniques. Using Python as a reference programming language, we demonstrate the practical aspects of cryptographic protocols and algorithms, empowering readers to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios.
Before diving into the exciting world of cryptography using Python, it’s essential to choose a suitable platform for your development. Python is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It’s essential to understand the different Python versions available. As of the time of writing, the two main versions are Python 2 and Python 3. However, Python 2 has reached its end of life, and it is strongly recommended to use Python 3 for all new projects. The ‘pyOpenSSL’ module is a Python wrapper around the OpenSSL library, which provides tools for working with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, as well as various cryptographic operations. It allows Python developers to implement secure communication, work with certificates, and perform various cryptographic tasks using the OpenSSL library’s capabilities.
What you will learn:
- Understand cryptographic techniques from classical to modern approaches.
- Implement symmetric and asymmetric encryption using Python.
- Design secure systems using hashing and authentication protocols.
- Analyze and apply cryptographic algorithms to security challenges.
- Explore lightweight cryptography and post-quantum solutions.
- Integrate cryptography into IoT and resource-constrained devices.
