Wouldn't it be great to really understand cryptography?

There are lots of great books on cryptography, but most give either a surface understanding or are full of complex mathematical formulas. Wouldn't it be great if there were a book that went below the surface, and explained the inner workings of cryptography in a way you could understand?

The Art and Math of Cryptography explains how symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, hashing, and random number generators work under the hood, using familiar examples and high-school level math. You'll also learn about digital signature, digital certificates, and all the cryptography pieces that come together to make cybersecurity work.

This book includes:

• Easy-to-understand explanations of cryptography concepts like entropy and bias, with real-world examples
• Descriptions of the inner workings of symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and how to test them out for yourself using just the Windows calculator
• Explanation of hashing and salts, and how they keep password lists safe from hackers
• The most important points about random number generators, and what to look for in a solution
• How digital signature and digital certificates work
