Reading recent issues on cryptography helps me to increase the arguments I use to find scenarios and explain to the managers of the companies that hire my services how cryptography helps to answer questions and concerns about how to keep information secure.

This book not only builds a crypto foundation but it teachers about real world instances where crypto has been used on servel levels. Providing practical examples and instances where cryptography has been used to solve and provide encryption algorithm as a security solution. I enjoyed the fact that we stepped through the different types of encryption and the way they can be used in the modern world. This book brings you out of the dark on the art of encryption and shines a brilliant light through the fog and misconception about cryptography.This book is an excellent read and it's one to put in your cyber library.

Although the book is aimed at beginner-level IT professionals, students, and cybersecurity enthusiasts, I found certain parts of it hard going, especially since it has been a few decades since I last studied university-level mathematics. However, any decent book on Crypto Algorithms without covering mathematics will leave its readers short-changed. Hence, the inclusion of this in the book is a positive thing.Sections 1 and 2 will introduce you to some of the historical aspects of cryptography and the classical symmetric and asymmetric encryption protocols and standards. It is an excellent way to lay down the foundations.Section 3 covers the newer algorithms and protocols. I found the Zero-Knowledge Protocols (ZKP) chapter of particular interest and relevance since it concerns authentication and identity. I enjoyed the author's scenario-based explanation of ZKP (labelled as ". . . the digital cave"), which is a great way to explain a complex topic.Chapter 6, which covers Lightweight encryption (amongst other topics), will be particularly appealing to those with a keen interest in IoT security. The inclusion of a Lightweight encryption Algorithms (LEA/LE) was a highlight for me, and I'm sure it will be for you too.In section 4, we transition over the emerging trends and threats of Quantum Cryptography—an essential topic for any cybersecurity professional. Buckle up for the chapter; you are in for a treat (well, if you are a nerd like me! 🤓 ) - I was fully expecting to read about quantum algorithms, but seeing Q-Mechanics included as well was like a kid in a candy shop.With all that said, is the book worth buying? In my opinion, the wealth of knowledge and insights it offers make it a resounding YES!

As a cybersecurity professional in digital forensics with over 20 years in IT, I found this book strikes a good balance between foundational concepts and more advanced, cutting-edge topics. The sections on classical cryptography, digital signatures, and symmetric/asymmetric encryption are clear and practical, while the exploration of emerging trends like quantum cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs offers insights into the future. The advanced material can be dense, but overall, this is an excellent resource for both beginners and those looking to deepen their cryptography knowledge.
