Description

Learn how the good guys implement cryptography and how the bad guys exploit it.

In Hacking Cryptography you'll find unique guidance for creating strong cryptography that can withstand attempts to exploit it including:

  • DUAL_EC_DRBG random number generator using Go's elliptic curve library
  • Exploiting the RC4 stream cipher, as used in WEP
  • Block ciphers for padding oracle attacks and manipulation of initialization-vectors
  • Exploiting hash functions by using extension and rainbow table attacks
  • Implementing RSA key generation using the Miller-Rabin primality test and exploiting it using the Weiner attack
  • Exploiting PKCS1.5 padding by using Bleichenbacher's chosen-ciphertext attack
  • Implementing Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange and breaking it using a MITM parameter injection attack
Theoretically strong cryptography often becomes vulnerable to exploitation as soon as it's built into real applications and networks. Hacking Cryptography details dozens of practical cryptographic implementations and then breaks down the flaws that adversaries use to exploit them. You'll learn just what it takes to write cryptographically secure code, build an intuition for spotting potential vulnerabilities, and master techniques to avoid the pitfalls that leave your systems at risk. About the technology: Everything we do in the digital world is protected by cryptography. It is the final and most reliable defense of our data, and it is often impossible to break in its pure mathematical form. Unfortunately, life is different outside the lab. Implementing cryptography in code and hardware is never perfect, and any crack is an invitation for a would-be attacker's exploitation.

Fast and efficient way to choose and receive books

This is my second experience using Booksplease. Both orders dealt with very quickly and despatched. Now waiting for my next read to drop through the letterbox.

Will definitely use again!

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
