Description

Serious Cryptography is the much anticipated review of modern cryptography by cryptographer JP Aumasson. This is a book for readers who want to understand how cryptography works in today's world. The book is suitable for a wide audience, yet is filled with mathematical concepts and meaty discussions of how the various cryptographic mechanisms work. Chapters cover the notion of secure encryption, randomness, block ciphers and ciphers, hash functions and message authentication codes, public-key crypto including RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and elliptic curves, as well as TLS and post-quantum cryptography. Numerous code examples and real use cases throughout will help practitioners to understand the core concepts behind modern cryptography, as well as how to choose the best algorithm or protocol and ask the right questions of vendors. Aumasson discusses core concepts like computational security and forward secrecy, as well as strengths and limitations of cryptographic functionalities related to

"It's really a love letter to cryptography."
-Nadim Kobeissi

"For those who really want to understand how cryptography works, and who need to use it in practice, I thoroughly recommend Serious Cryptography."
-Martijn Grooten, Virus Bulletin

"Impressive in its breadth...the state of the art in applied cryptography is distilled here in a mere 282 pages."
-Federico Lucifredi, The Hub

"Aumasson successfully ensures that the reader has a strong understanding of cryptography's core ideas... Serious Cryptography is a must read for anyone wanting to enter cryptographic engineering."
-Infosecurity Magazine

"Each chapter not only explains concepts and key implementation details, but also highlights possible pitfalls, common mistakes, and finishes with a list of recommended materials."
-Artificial Truth

"Jean-Philippe Aumasson's Serious Cryptography is a classic (and serious) introduction to the field."
-Mary Branscombe, ZDNet

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.
