Secure your data, encrypt communications, and implement real-world security techniques for modern applications by leveraging practical cryptographic methods using Python libraries

Key FeaturesApply cryptographic techniques using Python to build secure real-world applicationsImplement secure encryption, hashing, and digital signaturesMaster cryptography fundamentals and practical security conceptsPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionCryptography is the backbone of modern cybersecurity, protecting sensitive data from cyber threats, hackers, and unauthorized access. Applied Cryptography Using Python is your hands-on guide to understanding and implementing cryptographic techniques using Python. Written by two experts in cryptography, cloud security, and scalable systems, this book takes a practical approach, ensuring you not only grasp the theoretical foundations but also apply them in real-world scenarios, from securing communication channels to encrypting files and managing digital signatures.

The chapters help you understand the fundamentals of cryptographic algorithms, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and hashing techniques before progressing to advanced topics like elliptic curve cryptography, homomorphic encryption, and quantum-safe cryptography. You'll work with industry-standard libraries, such as PyCryptodome and cryptography, enabling you to build secure applications and protect sensitive data.

By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills to implement cryptographic solutions, integrate security best practices into software development, and stay ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity.
