Tutorials on the foundations of cryptography: dedicated to Oded Goldreich

摘要

One of the many things I like about the Python programming language is that, once you learn basic Python programming, a whole host of other interesting ideas are within your grasp. I am one of those people who likes to learn things by writing some code; then fiddling with the code to see what happens; then changing the parameters to see what happens; and so on. And Python libraries allow you to do just that. This book is an example of how a little knowledge of Python can be leveraged into knowledge about another field—in this case, cryptography. Cryptography is the art of hiding information in an encoded form so that it can be passed to a receiver where it is decoded and read.
