The development of cryptography has resulted in a robust safeguard for all aspects of the digital transformation process. As the backbone of today's security infrastructure, it ensures the integrity of communications, prevents the misuse of personally identifiable information (PII) and other private data, verifies the authenticity of individuals, keeps documents from being altered, and establishes trust between the servers. Using cryptography, you can verify not only the identity of the sender and the recipient but also the authenticity of the information's source and final destination. Using the hashing algorithms and the message digests, which are discussed in detail in this book, cryptography ensures the authenticity of data. The recipient may rest easy knowing that the information they have received has not been altered with codes and digital keys used to verify its authenticity and the sender. Quantum computing allows for the development of data encryption techniques that are far more secure than current methods. Although there are several advantages of using quantum computers for cryptography, this technology may also be used by criminals to create new forms of ransomware that can crack older, more secure encryption protocols in a fraction of the time. Even if quantum computers are still a decade away, that timeline may be more optimistic than most people think. Soon, hackers may be able to use such quantum computers to launch far more sophisticated malware attacks. Despite its drawbacks, quantum computing will ultimately help make encryption safer for everyone.

A Beginner’s Guide to Internet of Things Security focuses on security issues and developments in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The wide-ranging applications of IoT, including home appliances, transportation, logistics, healthcare, and smart cities, necessitate security applications that can be applied to every domain with minimal cost. IoT contains three layers: application layer, middleware layer, and perception layer. The security problems of each layer are analyzed separately to identify solutions, along with the integration and scalability issues with the cross-layer architecture of IoT. The book discusses the state-of-the-art authentication-based security schemes, which can secure radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, along with some security models that are used to verify whether an authentication scheme is secure against any potential security risks. It also looks at existing authentication schemes and security models with their strengths and weaknesses. The book uses statistical and analytical data and explains its impact on the IoT field, as well as an extensive literature survey focusing on trust and privacy problems. The open challenges and future research direction discussed in this book will help to further academic researchers and industry professionals in the domain of security. Dr. Brij B.
