Warning: this book isnot finished! I am still working on some of the chapters. Once it is completed, I will publish it as PDF and EPUB. Be patient.

A modernpractical book aboutcryptography for developers with code examples, covering core concepts like:hashes (like SHA-3 and BLAKE2),MAC codes (like HMAC and GMAC),key derivation functions (like Scrypt, Argon2),key agreement protocols (like DHKE, ECDH),symmetric ciphers (like AES and ChaCha20, cipher block modes, authenticated encryption, AEAD, AES-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305),asymmetric ciphers andpublic-key cryptosystems (RSA, ECC, ECIES),elliptic curve cryptography (ECC, secp256k1, curve25519),digital signatures (ECDSA and EdDSA),secure random numbers (PRNG, CSRNG) andquantum-safe cryptography, along with cryptolibraries and developer tools, with a lots ofcode examples in Python and other languages.
