This book describes several encryption Python programs for various ciphers, along with how to write Python programs that can break these ciphers.
Cryptography is the science of using secret codes. A cryptographer is someone who uses and studies secret codes. This book will teach you what you need to know to become a cryptographer.
Of course, these secret messages don't always stay secret. If someone is a clever cryptanalyst, they might be able to break the code. A cryptanalyst is someone who can break secret codes and read other people's encrypted messages, even if they were not the person who encrypted the message. Cryptanalysts are kind of like computer hackers. This book will also teach you what you need to know to become a cryptanalyst.
