Understanding and employing cryptography has become central for securing virtually any digital application, whether user app, cloud service, or even medical implant. Heavily revised and updated, the long-awaited second edition of Understanding Cryptography follows the unique approach of making modern cryptography accessible to a broad audience, requiring only a minimum of prior knowledge. After introducing basic cryptography concepts, this seminal textbook covers nearly all symmetric, asymmetric, and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms currently in use in applications—ranging from cloud computing and smart phones all the way to industrial systems, block chains, and cryptocurrencies. The book has many features that make it a unique source for students, practitioners and researchers. We focus on practical relevance by introducing the majority of cryptographic algorithms that are used in modern real-world applications. With respect to symmetric algorithms, we introduce the block ciphers AES, DES and triple-DES as well as PRESENT, which is an important example of a lightweight cipher. We also describe three popular stream ciphers. Regarding asymmetric cryptography, we cover all three public-key families currently in use: RSA, discrete logarithm schemes and elliptic curves.
