About This Book
Explore popular and important cryptographic methods
Compare cryptographic modes and understand their limitations
Learn to perform attacks on cryptographic systems
Who This Book Is For
Hands-On Cryptography with Python is for security professionals who want to learn to encrypt and evaluate data, and compare different encryption methods.
What You Will Learn
Protect data with encryption and hashing
Explore and compare various encryption methods
Encrypt data using the Caesar Cipher technique
Make hashes and crack them
Learn how to use three NIST-recommended systems: AES, SHA, and RSA
Understand common errors in encryption and exploit them
In Detail
Cryptography is essential for protecting sensitive information, but it is often performed inadequately or incorrectly.
Hands-On Cryptography with Python starts by showing you how to encrypt and evaluate your data. The book will then walk you through various data encryption methods,such as obfuscation, hashing, and strong encryption, and will show how you can attack cryptographic systems. You will learn how to create hashes, crack them, and will understand why they are so different from each other. In the concluding chapters, you will use three NIST-recommended systems: the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), and the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA).
By the end of this book, you will be able to deal with common errors in encryption.
Style and approach
A practical guide that will help the readers to encrypt their data with ease
Combine the power of Apache Spark and Python to build effective big data applications
