Explore the fascinating and rich world of Secret Key cryptography!
This book provides practical methods for encrypting messages, an interesting
and entertaining historical perspective, and an incredible collection of
ciphers and codes, including 30 unbreakable methods.
In Secret Key Cryptography: Ciphers, from simple to unbreakable, you will:
★ Learn the history, and future, of cryptography
★ Learn how to construct hundreds of types of ciphers
★ Measure the strength of your ciphers and learn how
to guarantee their security
★ Construct and incorporate data-compression codes
★ Generate true random numbers in bulk
★ Construct huge primes and safe primes
★ Add an undetectable backdoor to a cipher
★ Defeat hypothetical ultracomputers that could be
developed decades from now
★ Construct 30 unbreakable ciphers
Secret Key Cryptography gives you a toolbox of cryptographic techniques and
Secret Key methods. The book's simple, non-technical language is easy to
understand and accessible for any reader, even without the advanced mathematics
normally required for cryptography. You'll learn how to create and solve ciphers,
as well as how to measure their strength. As you go, you'll explore both
historic ciphers and groundbreaking new approaches -- including a
never-before-seen way to implement the uncrackable One-Time Pad algorithm.
Whoever you are, this book is for you! History buffs will love seeing
the evolution of sophisticated cryptographic methods, hobbyists will get
a gentle introduction to cryptography, and engineers and computer scientists
will learn the principles of constructing secure ciphers. Even professional
cryptographers will find a range of new methods and concepts never published
before.
