Everyday Cryptography: Fundamental Principles and Applications

Cryptography is a vital technology that underpins the security of information in computer networks. This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the role that cryptography plays in providing information security for everyday technologies such as the Internet, mobile phones, Wi-Fi networks, payment cards, Tor, and Bitcoin. This book is intended to be introductory, self-contained, and widely accessible. It is suitable as a first read on cryptography. Almost no prior knowledge of mathematics is required since the book deliberately avoids the details of the mathematics techniques underpinning cryptographic mechanisms. Instead our focus will be on what a normal user or practitioner of information security needs to know about cryptography in order to understand the design and use of everyday cryptographic applications. By focusing on the fundamental principles of modern cryptography rather than the technical details of current cryptographic technology, the main part this book is relatively timeless, and illustrates the application of these principles by considering a number of contemporary applications of cryptography. Following the revelations of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, the book considers the wider societal impact of use of cryptography and strategies for addressing this. A reader of this book will not only be able to understand the everyday use of cryptography, but also be able to interpret future developments in this fascinating and crucially important area of technology.

Review "An indispensable guide to the ongoing crypto wars―balanced, gripping, and in plain English." ― Thomas Rid, professor of strategic studies, Johns Hopkins University, and author of Active Measures"In his searching and authoritative book, Keith Martin explains how…cryptography governs a huge portion of everyday life, and this book is the perfect introduction." ― Steve Donoghue, Open Letters Review"Keith Martin has a knack for explaining one of today’s toughest inter-disciplinary problems in an accessible and accurate way. There’s no math required, just a willingness to engage your brain. You will finish this book both entertained and better informed." ― Kenny Paterson, professor of computer science, ETH Zürich"In his typical low-key style, Keith Martin explains how digital security is necessarily based on cryptosystems, secret keys, and public keys. A must-read for anyone who wants to participate competently in discussions on the role of cryptography in our society." ― Vincent Rijmen, codesigner of the Advanced Encryption Standard"[Martin] shows a knack for communicating demanding ideas…This timely book will leave digital neophytes significantly better informed about a vital area in computer science." ― Publishers Weekly"Highly informative…Tech-savvy readers will come away with a greater appreciation for the science involved in keeping secrets from prying eyes." ― Kirkus Reviews Product Description A “must-read” (Vincent Rijmen) nuts-and-bolts explanation of cryptography from a leading expert in information security.Despite its reputation as a language only of spies and hackers, cryptography plays a critical role in our everyday lives. Though often invisible, it underpins the security of our mobile phone calls, credit card payments, web searches, internet messaging, and cryptocurrencies―in short, everything we do online. Increasingly, it also runs in the background of our smart refrigerators, thermostats, electronic car keys, and even the cars themselves. As our daily devices get smarter, cyberspace―home to all the networks that connect them―grows.Broadly defined as a set of tools for establishing security in this expanding cyberspace, cryptography enables us to protect and share our information. Understanding the basics of cryptography is the key to recognizing the significance of the security technologies we encounter every day, which will then help us respond to them.What are the implications of connecting to an unprotected Wi-Fi network? Is it really so important to have different passwords for different accounts? Is it safe to submit sensitive personal information to a given app, or to convert money to bitcoin? In clear, concise writing, information security expert Keith Martin answers all these questions and more, revealing the many crucial ways we all depend on cryptographic technology. He demystifies its controversial applications and the nuances behind alarming headlines about data breaches at banks, credit bureaus, and online retailers. We learn, for example, how encryption can hamper criminal investigations and obstruct national security efforts, and how increasingly frequent ransomware attacks put personal information at risk. Yet we also learn why responding to these threats by restricting the use of cryptography can itself be problematic.Essential reading for anyone with a password, Cryptography offers a profound perspective on personal security, online and off. About the Author Keith Martin is a professor of information security at Royal Holloway, University of London, and has worked in cryptographic research for thirty years. He lives in Surrey, United Kingdom.

This book brings together the magazine's best articles on Alfas over the years giving detailed coverage of every car from the four-door 164s of the 90s to the Spiders of the 50s and 60s to the earliest pre-war 6C and 8C classics; from Giulias, Giuliettas, Duettos, Sprints, Zagatos, and more. Here aficionados and curious amateurs alike will find a full slate of insider information (why, for instance, is one GTV a good deal at $30,000, and another a horrible buy at $10,000?), in-person reviews of Alfas that have actually sold at auction, and exactly what the SCM experts think of the prices they brought.
