Looking For Book Suggestion On Cryptography (1 Viewer)

[ADIGA88]

Hi Guys,

I hope you are having a nice day,

I am looking for advice, and what better place to look for advice than the AccessWorld great community.

I like to hear your suggestions on a book about cryptography, practical cryptography. a book covering day-to-day use cases in the IT domain with some explanation about the background concepts and technologies.

i don't know the subject.
but there are lots of downloadable hits.

This is the problem, there is a lot of material and topics that exist and this is what confused me. I am looking for something not going into much detail that an IT/Programmer can use as a reference.

i saw one book. the title suggests that it has source code, in C.

If you really want just an overview on security including SOME idea of how they work, there are course books. The DETAILED innards of most security methods require you to be a mathematician. But the general ideas and overviews in the course books might be enough. Unless I did not understand your requirements.

From CompTia, you can look at the Security+ course book. From Passport, you can try the CISSP course book. I'm sure Microsoft has a security class offering, too. However, I'm not familiar with that one. When going through EITHER book.... invest in a coffee machine. You'll need it.

The Imitation Game is a 2014 American historical drama film directed by Morten Tyldum and written by Graham Moore, based on the 1983 biography Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges.

In 1928, the young Turing is unhappy and bullied at boarding school. He develops a friendship with Christopher Morcom, who sparks his interest in cryptography.

Thank you Doc, those books will gather all the concepts in brief form and this is what am looking for.

You are welcome. I'm only slightly kidding about needing a lot of coffee. SLIGHTLY. Those books might well be the most boring non-fiction books I have read in a long time.
