Cryptography and encryption aren't just for geeks and
spies—they’re also part of our daily lives. This book enlightens
you with the basics of digital cryptography and covers the must-do
practices organizations need to implement when it comes to fending off
data theft and eavesdroppers. You will uncover the concepts of digital
encryption and examine key digital encryption algorithms and their
various applications. Gauging cryptography from an
enterprise perspective, you will get an in-depth look at common
attacks that can occur in your systems and lean how to counter them
Moving on to quantum computing, you will discover how it differs from
the current computing paradigm and understand its potential for the
future. After clearing the basics, you will take a close look at how
quantum computers work in practice. Shifting focus to quantum
cryptography, you will learn more about quantum key distribution (QKD)
and how it differs from present-day encryption methodologies. You will
also consider the current implementations of QKD, including
distribution systems by SwissQuantum and QKD-distribution networks
provided by the DARPA Quantum Network. Ultimately, you will learn the
means of defending against cryptographic attacks in the up-and-coming
quantum age, such as utilizing zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) systems.
Deepen your knowledge of cryptographic concepts and be introduced to
the new paradigm of quantum cryptography with this book. What You
Will Learn Appreciate how digital encryption algorithms work Secure
your infrastructure from cryptographic attacks Understand the basics
of quantum information science Discover how cryptography relates to
quantum computing Implement Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Who This
Book Is For This book is aimed at readerswho have an interest in both
well-established and up-and-coming types of cryptography, as well as
members of organizations to whom privacy is a top priority.
