You'll learn when to use these operations and how to choose and implement the most popular algorithms to perform them, including SHA-2, Argon2, AES, ChaCha20-Poly1305, RSA, and Elliptic Curve Cryptography. Later, you'll learn how to deal with password and key management. All code in this book is written in JavaScript and designed to run in Node.js or as part of frontend apps for web browsers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of this book, you'll be able to build solutions that leverage cryptography to protect user privacy, offer better security against an expanding and more complex threat landscape, help meet data protection requirements, and unlock new opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Learn: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrite JavaScript code that uses cryptography running within a Node.js environment for the server-side or in frontend applications for web browsers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse modern, safe hashing functions for calculating digests and key derivation, including SHA-2 and Argon2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice encrypting messages and files with a symmetric key using AES and ChaCha20-Poly1305\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse asymmetric and hybrid encryption, leveraging RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography with ECDH and ECIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalculate and verify digital signatures using RSA and ECDSA\/EdDSA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManage passwords and encryption keys safely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this book is for: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cryptography book is an introductory guide for software developers who don't necessarily have a background in cryptography but are interested in learning how to integrate it in their solutions, correctly and safely.
