Description
Crypto Dictionary is your full reference resource for all things cryptography.

Cryptography from A5/0 to ZRTP

Expand your mind--and your crypto knowledge--with the ultimate desktop dictionary for all things cryptography. Written by a globally recognized cryptographer for fellow experts and novices to the field alike, Crypto Dictionary is rigorous in its definitions, yet easy to read and laced with humor. You'll find:

  • 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, which may have let the US read the secret communications of foreign governments
  • An explanation of why the reference to the Blowfish cipher in the TV show 24 makes absolutely no sense
  • Discussions of numerous cryptographic attacks, like the slide attack and biclique attack (and the meaning of a crypto "attack")
  • Types of cryptographic proofs, such as zero-knowledge proofs of spacetime
  • A polemic against referring to cryptocurrency as "crypto"
  • A look toward the future of cryptography, with discussions of the threat of quantum computing poses to our current cryptosystems and a nod to post-quantum algorithms, such as lattice-based cryptographic schemes

    • Or, flip to any random page and learn something new, interesting, and mind-boggling for fun. Organized alphabetically, with hundreds of incisive entries and illustrations at your fingertips, Crypto Dictionary is the crypto world go-to guide that you'll always want within reach.
