Key benefits

  • Discover how cryptography is used to secure data in motion as well as at rest
  • Compare symmetric with asymmetric encryption and learn how a hash is used
  • Get to grips with different types of cryptographic solutions along with common applications

Description

In today's world, it is important to have confidence in your data storage and transmission strategy. Cryptography can provide you with this confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation. But are you aware of just what exactly is involved in using cryptographic techniques? Modern Cryptography for Cybersecurity Professionals helps you to gain a better understanding of the cryptographic elements necessary to secure your data. The book begins by helping you to understand why we need to secure data and how encryption can provide protection, whether it be in motion or at rest. You'll then delve into symmetric and asymmetric encryption and discover how a hash is used. As you advance, you'll see how the public key infrastructure (PKI) and certificates build trust between parties, so that we can confidently encrypt and exchange data. Finally, you'll explore the practical applications of cryptographic techniques, including passwords, email, and blockchain technology, along with securely transmitting data using a virtual private network (VPN). By the end of this cryptography book, you'll have gained a solid understanding of cryptographic techniques and terms, learned how symmetric and asymmetric encryption and hashed are used, and recognized the importance of key management and the PKI.

Who is this book for?

This book is for IT managers, security professionals, students, teachers, and anyone looking to learn more about cryptography and understand why it is important in an organization as part of an overall security framework. A basic understanding of encryption and general networking terms and concepts is needed to get the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Understand how network attacks can compromise data
  • Review practical uses of cryptography over time
  • Compare how symmetric and asymmetric encryption work
  • Explore how a hash can ensure data integrity and authentication
  • Understand the laws that govern the need to secure data
  • Discover the practical applications of cryptographic techniques
  • Find out how the PKI enables trust
  • Get to grips with how data can be secured using a VPN

The author did an amazing job at explaining cryptography that helps the reader understand what it is, why we use it, and how to apply cryptography to our information systems. This book is a must-read for cyber security professionals that need to learn more about cryptography. It will help these professionals to understand the importance of cryptography in this ecosystem and maybe this industry can finally get a step ahead of the malicious attackers.

About This BookThis is a high-level introductory book on cryptography. It gives a comprehensive understanding of the field so that the reader can then talk the talk with specialists, architects, and solution managers.Who Is This For?I would recommend this book for students who need to know about cryptography, managers who will oversee cybersecurity specialists, and anyone who is interested in the field. It is not directly for someone who wants to implement the cryptography algorithms discusses as there are no implementation details. It can, however, give a conceptual understanding to a developer who would then need a follow-up resource.OrganizationThe macrostructure of this book is well throughout and breaks it up into three sections: basic security considerations, general cryptographic techniques, and how cryptography is applied in production settings. Within each chapter, there is the overall content followed by a summary, questions (answers in the back), and further reading. The further reading is especially important and each chapter has several to dig deeper.Did This Book Succeed?This book acts as an excellent introduction but does not go further than that. After reading this book you will be able to converse about cryptography but not be able to do anything with it. This is fine depending on your role, so could be either a strength or a weakness.Rating and Final ThoughtsOverall, I give this book a 4.5 out of 5.As someone who wants to be able to build something after reading a technical book, I’m left a little high and dry. I’d love to see the author write a second, more hands-on book that pairs well with this one. In fact, a volume 1 conceptual and volume 2 practical book set might have worked better, especially if they were back and forth with each other.

This book is a must have for all cybersecurity professionals. It provides a comprehensive and easily digested analysis of every aspect of cryptography. Professor Bock provides excellent examples and valuable resources that are helpful to both the established cybersecurity practitioner as well as those new to the field. If you buy only one book on cybersecurity this year, it should be Modern Cryptography for Cybersecurity Professionals.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
