Flip to any random page to find something new,interesting,or mind-boggling,such as:
A survey of crypto algorithms both widespread and niche,from RSA and DES to the USSR’s GOST cipher
Trivia from the history of cryptography,such as the MINERVA backdoor in Crypto AG’s encryption algorithms
An explanation of why the reference to the Blowfish cipher in the TV show 24 makes absolutely no sense
Types of cryptographic protocols like zero-knowledge; security; and proofs of work,stake,and resource
A polemic against referring to cryptocurrency as “crypto”
Discussions of numerous cryptographic attacks,including slide and biclique
The book also looks toward the future of cryptography,with discussions of the threat quantum computing poses to current cryptosystems and a nod to post-quantum algorithms,such as lattice-based cryptographic schemes.
