Book Description

As technology progresses and as more and more personal data is digitized, there is even more of an emphasis required on data security today than there has ever been. Protecting this data in a safe and secure way which does not impede the access of an authorized authority is an immensely difficult and very interesting problem. Many attempts have been made to solve this problem within the cryptographic community.

In this book, one of these data security methods known as Visual Cryptography (VC) is presented. Specifically, visual cryptography allows effective and efficient secret sharing between a number of trusted parties. As with many cryptographic schemes, trust is the most difficult part. Visual cryptography provides a very powerful technique by which one secret can be distributed into two or more shares. When the shares are xeroxed onto transparencies and then superimposed exactly together, the original secret can be discovered without computer participation.

• Dr WeiQi Yan received his Ph.D. degree from Institute of Computing Technology, Academia Sinica, China in 2001. His research interests include Multimedia Systems and Intelligent Multimedia Security, Forensics and Surveillance.

  This book is an incredible achievement. If you want to check what problems there were with a proposed system, determine how the variations on a particular algorithm developed, see what research preceded and followed an idea, go to the Handbook.

• Modern Cryptography Volume 1: A Classical Introduction

  This book systematically explores the statistical characteristics of cryptographic systems, the computational complexity theory of cryptographic algorithms and the mathematical principles behind various encryption and decryption algorithms.

• Modern Cryptography Volume 2: Post-Quantum Cryptography

  This open access book covers the most cutting-edge and hot research topics and fields of post-quantum cryptography. The main purpose of this book is to focus on the computational complexity theory of lattice ciphers.

• Practical Cryptography for Developers (Svetlin Nakov)

  A modern practical book about cryptography for developers with code examples, covering core concepts, along with crypto libraries and developer tools, with a lots of code examples in Python and other languages.

• The Joy of Cryptography (Mike Rosulek)

  The definitive introduction to all major areas of cryptography: message security, key negotiation, and key management, but in a way that is more accessible than what is "traditional" in crypto. All security definitions are written in a "game-based" style.

• Cryptography: An Introduction, 3rd Edition (Nigel Smart)

  This book provides the rigorous detail required for advanced cryptographic studies, yet approaches the subject matter in an accessible style in order to gently guide new students through difficult mathematical topics.

• A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography (Dan Boneh, et al)

  This book is about mathematical modeling and proofs to show that a particular cryptosystem satisfies the security properties attributed to it: constructing practical cryptosystems for which we can argue security under plausible assumptions.

• Fundamentals of Cryptology: A Professional Reference (H. Tilborg)

  This is a thoroughly written wonderful book on cryptography! This excellent book is warmly recommended for mathematicians, computer scientists, for professors and students, and, as a reference book, for researchers in the area of cryptography.

• Introduction to Modern Cryptography (Mihir Bellare, et al.)

  This book introduces the core principles of modern cryptography, with an emphasis on formal definitions, clear assumptions, and rigorous proofs of security. It also presents design principles for widely used stream ciphers and block ciphers.

• Cracking Codes with Python: Building and Breaking Ciphers

  Learn how to program in Python while making and breaking ciphers - algorithms used to create and send secret messages! You'll begin with simple programs for the reverse and Caesar ciphers and then work your way up to public key cryptography, etc.

• Open Workbook of Cryptology: Python Projects

  This book uses Python and some standard cryptographic libraries in Python to explore these cryptological ideas. It should be accessible to students with a solid basic comfort level with Python – but could also be used as a way to solidify Python.

• The Laws Of Cryptography With Java Code (Neal R. Wagner, et al.)

  This book is for Java developers who want to use cryptography in their applications or to understand how cryptography is being used in Java applications. Knowledge of the Java language is necessary, but you need not be familiar with any of the APIs discussed.

• Cryptography and Computer Security (Chris Bourke, et al)

  This book introduces the basic concepts in computer networks and the latest trends and technologies in cryptography and network security. The book is a definitive guide to the principles and techniques of cryptography and network security.
