Full Description
This is a comprehensive guide that explores the principles, methodologies, and applications of cryptographic security within the U.S. Department of Defence (DoD). This book provides a structured approach to understanding encryption, network security, public key infrastructure (PKI), and quantum cryptography, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world defence applications.
The book covers historical cryptographic methods, modern encryption standards, network hardening techniques, and strategies for securing data in transit. Readers will gain insight into secure communications, adversary tactics, and compliance with DoD security frameworks. With dedicated sections on post-quantum cryptography, wireless security, and cryptanalysis, this resource prepares cybersecurity professionals and government contractors for emerging threats in national security.
Designed for cybersecurity practitioners, defence professionals, and students, this book includes hands-on exercises, vocabulary breakdowns, and quizzes to reinforce learning. Whether you're an analyst, engineer, or policymaker, this guide serves as an essential reference for securing sensitive government systems and critical infrastructure against evolving cyber threats.
