Develop strong skills for writing cryptographic algorithms and security schemes/modules using C++23 and its new features. This book will teach you the right methods for writing advanced cryptographic algorithms, such as elliptic curve cryptography algorithms, lattice-based cryptography, searchable encryption, and homomorphic encryption. You'll also examine internal cryptographic mechanisms and discover common ways in which the algorithms can be implemented and used correctly in practice. 

The authors explain the mathematical basis of cryptographic algorithms in terms that a programmer can easily understand. They also show how "bad" cryptography can creep in during implementation and what "good" cryptography should look like by comparing advantages and disadvantages based on processing time, execution time, and reliability.

What You Will Learn

• Discover what modern cryptographic algorithms and methods are used for
• Design and implement advanced cryptographic mechanisms
• See how C++23 and its new features are impact the implementation of cryptographic algorithms
• Practice the basics of public key cryptography, including ECDSA signatures and more
• See how most of the algorithms can be broken

Who This Book Is For

Professional programmers, developers, and software engineers who are developing cryptography algorithms and security schemes/modules in C++. Prior C++ programming and IDE experience and some basic experience of cryptography concepts (symmetric and asymmetric) highly recommended.
