Security is pervasive. It is estimated that 3.3 billion mobile phone users are registered worldwide, which is more than half of the global population. Most of the mobile phones are built-in with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cameras, sensors, and many other components. Hence, digital security is no longer limited to the scholarly community but is now the concern of all users of computers worldwide. As e-commerce and electronic transactions have grown exponentially, the development of secure systems has also increased rapidly to protect the digital world against adversaries, giving rise to a vast number of applications of emerging security algorithms, and more applications are developing in proportion to the increasing development and usage of smartphone technology, online banking, m-commerce, share market, cloud computing, etc.

This book covers symmetric, asymmetric and post-quantum cryptography algorithms, and their modern applications in developing secure systems, viz. digital signature, entity authentication, message authentication, cyber security, web security, cloud security, smart card technology, and CAPTCHA. The book has been structured well with simple explanations and illustrations. In other words, this book is designed to support students who are studying computer science and engineering, information technology, electronics and telecommunication engineering at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and teachers, researchers, scientists and engineers who are working in the field of digital security. This book is written with aims to bring out a new paradigm for learning emerging security algorithms and techniques.

This book is organized into 17 chapters. Each chapter covers the following important topics in brief: modular arithmetic, finite fields, prime numbers, discrete logarithm problems, integer factorization problems, symmetric algorithms, asymmetric algorithms, post-quantum cryptography, identity-based encryption, attribute-based encryption, key management, entity authentication, message authentication, digital signatures, applications, and hands-on SageMath.
