Summary

If you’re browsing the web, using public APIs, making and receiving electronic payments, registering and logging in users, or experimenting with blockchain, you’re relying on cryptography。 And you’re probably trusting a collection of tools, frameworks, and protocols to keep your data, users, and business safe。 It’s important to understand these tools so you can make the best decisions about how, where, and why to use them。 Real-World Cryptography teaches you applied cryptographic techniques to understand and apply security at every level of your systems and applications。

Hodnocení pro MEAP v09。První část o krypto primitivách ujde, další kapitoly jsou rozplizlé a roztěkané。 TLS popsáno naprosto nedostatečně。 U E2E chybí třeba popis problému s opakovaným odesláním nedoručených zpráv ve Whatsappu, když server podhodí nový klíč。

I read this as part of the book review process by Manning so I don't know by the time it's finished if my review will still be to the point (especially since my review is also passed to the author before the final book)。 I liked the fact that this book tries (and achieves) to spend as little math as possible and at the same time inform the reader on what they should know about Cryptography in 2020。 From encryption to key signing, exchanges, hardware tokens, authentication, TLS problems with the I read this as part of the book review process by Manning so I don't know by the time it's finished if my review will still be to the point (especially since my review is also passed to the author before the final book)。 I liked the fact that this book tries (and achieves) to spend as little math as possible and at the same time inform the reader on what they should know about Cryptography in 2020。 From encryption to key signing, exchanges, hardware tokens, authentication, TLS problems with the current implementations and issues with the previous ones。 For people who want to get into cryptography and don't want to get overrun by reading a math book just to understand how TLS works this book is awesome。 My -1 star is mainly because there were some parts that I wanted more detail (i。e how OIDC works, how Noise protocol framework works ) and the fact that the author dismisses PGP and email encryption and suggests Signal which is not for email。 The last part is problematic since instant messaging is not the same as email and email is still a big thing in 2020。 I get that PGP has a lot of problems but pointing to a different thing is not a proposal。 Companies should not be allowed to keep track of users' emails。If you're already familiar with current state of Cryptography this is still a good refresher and useful as a reference book 。。。more
