Über dieses E-Book

Readers of all backgrounds will learn about cryptography's role in protecting everyday digital interactions – from buying a coffee to texting a friend – from two security experts.

This cybersecurity book for beginners and experts alike offers an engaging exploration of cryptography’s role in our everyday lives.

Matthew Green, professor at Johns Hopkins and creator of the Zcash cryptocurrency, and Yehuda Lindell, Head of Cryptography at Coinbase, demystify the technologies that keep our information safe behind the scenes during common digital interactions, including:
  • Tapping to pay for your morning coffee
  • Texting friends or emailing coworkers
  • Shopping on your favorite website
  • Sharing your location with GPS apps

By distilling complex topics like encryption and digital signatures into clear, approachable explanations, Cryptography for Everyone equips readers to navigate the digital world more safely. Along the way, the authors discuss the potential downsides of cryptography, noting its use in hiding criminal activities and the ongoing debate around government surveillance.

To do its job, cryptography should be tough to crack, but that doesn’t mean it has to be mysterious. Learn how you’re kept safe online and make more informed decisions about your privacy and security with Cryptography for Everyone.
