Reviews"An opinionated mix of witty definitions, mentions of niche cryptographic constructions and obscure algorithms, historical curiosities, and cryptography nerd jokes . . . As written in its introduction, Crypto Dictionary is meant to be an entertaining read, so that 'any reader can open the book at a random page and discover a yet unknown notion, excavate an obscure concept, or read an anecdote about a familiar term.', and it perfectly fulfils this role." --Julien Voisin, Dustri.org

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