Cryptographic Algorithms with Python: Algorithms for Effective Python Implementations

By Radhika Subramanian (Datar)

Gain the basic concepts of cryptography and implement a number of cryptographic algorithms in Python. After going through a crash course in Python programming covering concepts such as loops, functions, and conditional statements, you will take a look at various inbuilt libraries in Python which support cryptography implementations.
Beginning with simple ciphers such as Reverse, ROT13, and XOR, you'll move towards classic ciphers such as Transposition and Vigen re. You will also gain an understanding of encrypting and decrypting files following Python standards. Further you will learn to encrypt your data with monoalphabetic ciphers such as Caesar and Affine. Finally, you will master the concepts of symmetric and public key cryptography by diving into the DES and RSA algorithms.
Each program featured in the book will be accompanied by the complete code with flow charts and a detailed explanation of the concepts.
