Cryptography and encryption aren't just for geeks and spies-they're also
part of our daily lives. This book enlightens you with the basics of
digital cryptography and covers the must-do practices organizations need
to implement when it comes to fending off data theft and eavesdroppers.
You will uncover the concepts of digital encryption and examine key
digital encryption algorithms and their various applications. Gauging
cryptography from an enterprise perspective, you will get an in-depth
look at common attacks that can occur in your systems and lean how to
counter them
Moving on to quantum computing, you will discover how it differs from
the current computing paradigm and understand its potential for the
future. After clearing the basics, you will take a close look at how
quantum computers work in practice. Shifting focus to quantum
cryptography, you will learn more about quantum key distribution (QKD)
and how it differs from present-day encryption methodologies. You will
also consider the current implementations of QKD, including distribution
systems by SwissQuantum and QKD-distribution networks provided by the
DARPA Quantum Network. Ultimately, you will learn the means of defending
against cryptographic attacks in the up-and-coming quantum age, such as
utilizing zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) systems.
Deepen your knowledge of cryptographic concepts and be introduced to the
new paradigm of quantum cryptography with this book.
