Here is your in-depth guide to cryptography and cryptanalysis in Java. This book includes challenging cryptographic solutions that are implemented in Java 21 and Jakarta EE 11. It provides a robust introduction to Java 21's new features and updates, a roadmap for Jakarta EE 11 security mechanisms, a unique presentation of the "hot points" (advantages and disadvantages) from the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA), a new chapter on Quantum cryptography, and more.

The book dives into the classical simple cryptosystems that form the basis of modern cryptography, with fully working solutions (encryption/decryption operations). Pseudo-random generators are discussed as well as real-life implementations. Hash functions are covered along with practical cryptanalysis methods and attacks, asymmetric and symmetric encryption systems, signature and identification schemes.

The book wraps up with a presentation of lattice-based cryptography and the NTRU framework library. Modern encryption schemes for cloud and big data environments (homomorphic encryption and searchable encryption) also are included. After reading and using this book, you will be proficient with crypto algorithms and know how to apply them to problems you may encounter.

Applied cryptography and theoretical cryptography are essential components of the greater science of cryptography, each playing unique but interrelated functions. Comprehending the distinctions between them helps provide an understanding of how cryptographic systems are created, examined, and put into practice.

Theoretical cryptography is a branch of cryptography that focuses on the fundamental principles, mathematical theories, and abstract models underlying cryptographic algorithms and protocols. It is concerned with the rigorous analysis and design of cryptographic systems, aiming to establish their security based on well-defined assumptions and formal proofs.

Applied cryptography is a field that deals with the practical implementation and utilization of cryptographic methods in real-world scenarios. It entails utilizing the ideas and theories of theoretical cryptography to design secure communication systems, data protection mechanisms, and other security solutions. Applied cryptography designs and enforces protocols customized for particular uses, like secure web browsing (TLS/SSL), secure email (PGP, S/MIME), and secure financial transactions.

New to This Edition:

The modernized Second Edition is updated to reflect the latest language features in Java 21 and Jakarta 11, along with the introduction of a new chapter on Quantum Cryptography (Chapter 6).
