Overview of this book

Cryptography Algorithms is designed to help you get up and running with modern cryptography algorithms. You'll not only explore old and modern security practices but also discover practical examples of implementing them effectively. The book starts with an overview of cryptography, exploring key concepts including popular classical symmetric and asymmetric algorithms, protocol standards, and more. You'll also cover everything from building crypto codes to breaking them. In addition to this, the book will help you to understand the difference between various types of digital signatures. As you advance, you will become well-versed with the new-age cryptography algorithms and protocols such as public and private key cryptography, zero-knowledge protocols, elliptic curves, quantum cryptography, and homomorphic encryption. Finally, you'll be able to apply the knowledge you've gained with the help of practical examples and use cases. By the end of this cryptography book, you will be well-versed with modern cryptography and be able to effectively apply it to security applications.

Post-Q-Cryptography

It is useful to point out that post-Q-Cryptography has nothing to do with Q-Cryptography, except for the fact that it could be considered resistant to quantum computing (maybe it is only a chimera). When we talk about post-Q-Cryptography, we refer to classical algorithm candidates being resistant to quantum computing.

If quantum computing were to raise its power, expressed in a satisfying number of qubits, and were implemented on appropriate hardware able to perform the quantum computation, many of the algorithms that have been discussed in this book would be breached. However, nowadays, a quantum computer occupies an entire room of space and works through hardware made by several components (most of them prepared to keep the qubits in a state of entanglement at frozen temperatures). As soon as the dimensions of the hardware are reduced and its calculation power increases, most of the following algorithms will probably fail in terms of timing, which could swing...
