Introduction

Cryptography is an important but difficult topic. A great many professions require some level of use of cryptography. This includes programmers, network administrators, and cybersecurity professionals. However, such people often are not provided adequate training in cryptography. There are a number of excellent cryptography books available, but most assume some level of mathematical sophistication on the part of the reader. This renders them inaccessible to a substantial number of potential readers. The entire purpose of this book is to bridge this gap. If you are a mathematician or cryptographer, this book is not intended for you. In fact, you might feel frustrated that certain mathematical details are not fully explored. As one glaring example, there are no mathematical proofs in this book. This book is aimed at the person who wants or needs a better understanding of cryptography, but may not have a background in number theory, linear algebra, and other similar topics. When needed, just enough math is provided for you to follow along, and no more detail than is necessary. As a consequence, this book is meant to be accessible to a broad audience. Howe
