Cryptology includes data encryption (cryptography), cryptographicprotocols and code breaking to provide the fundamentals of datasecurity.
This new book introduces cryptography in a unique andnon-mathematical style. Cryptology Unlocked explainsencryption, crypto analysis (classic and modern algorithms),cryptographic protocols, digital standards and much more. Thisinnovative book will reveal some of the dangers of code breaking,and highlights ways to master code-breaking and attackalgorithms.
Topics range from the simplest enciphering methods to preciseinvestigations of modern algorithms. Everything you need tounderstand the delicate balance between complex and actualinformation, 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 GSMand UMTS
* The everyday implications on digital signatures, PINs andonline banking
