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.

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.

Cryptography was one of the challenging topics to grasp while progressing my cybersecurity learning. This author did a super amazing job in clearly explaining the concepts and technologies involved in Cryptography for any cybersecurity professional. I highly recommend this book for everyone.

Amazon Customer Jul 20, 2021

It’s extremely easy to follow with a lot of useful tips, was a total beginner but it has helped me understand most of the part relating to Cryptography, great book to get you started in this topic.

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.
