Real-World Cryptography
Hey folks. I wrote a book on applied cryptography during the last two years and published it a few months back. It’s brand new, it’s the first crypto book with a chapter on cryptocurrencies (if that’s your thing), and it packs all the types of cryptography I had to work on during my career. It’s made to be the most approachable book for people who want to know more about crypto basics, as well as designs used by large companies at scale, think end to end encryption with the signal protocol, SSL/TLS, HSMs, and others. If you’re thinking “did we really need another cryptography book?” I wrote something for you a while back: https://www.cryptologie.net/article/504/why-im-writing-a-book-on-cryptography/
That’s it! A good book to expense for christmas if you ask me! https://www.amazon.com/Real-World-Cryptography-David-Wong/dp/1617296716
- kleer001 5y ago> the first crypto book with a chapter on cryptocurrencies With crypto currencies being around for 11 years I find that assertion suspect. Can you share more information to back that up? I do understand how hard it is to prove a negative.
- baby 5y agoPeople don't write cryptography books every day. I might be wrong but I haven't found one myself. It should be easy to disprove if you find one. Also note that for a long time cryptocurrencies were "boycotted" by crypto people.
