Cryptography Algorithms

By: Massimo Bertaccini

Overview of this book

Cryptography Algorithms is designed to help you get up and running with modern cryptography algorithms. You'll not only explore old and modern security practices but also discover practical examples of implementing them effectively. The book starts with an overview of cryptography, exploring key concepts including popular classical symmetric and asymmetric algorithms, protocol standards, and more. You'll also cover everything from building crypto codes to breaking them. In addition to this, the book will help you to understand the difference between various types of digital signatures. As you advance, you will become well-versed with the new-age cryptography algorithms and protocols such as public and private key cryptography, zero-knowledge protocols, elliptic curves, quantum cryptography, and homomorphic encryption. Finally, you'll be able to apply the knowledge you've gained with the help of practical examples and use cases. By the end of this cryptography book, you will be well-versed with modern cryptography and be able to effectively apply it to security applications.

Introducing the MBXI algorithm

When I started the MBXI project, it was 2010. I had already had the algorithm's scheme in my mind for some time before that, but there were some issues that I couldn't solve. While I was working on project MB09, to build a digital payment network, the telecommunication company that became my partner also needed to use a proprietary algorithm to send a message, [M]. In this scenario, that refers to the amount of digital money transmitted between two or more actors in the network.

So, I proposed a new public/private key algorithm. MBXI was patented in November 2011, and it's still valid now after ten years.

MBXI is a cryptographic process method that could be simultaneously considered both an asymmetric scheme and a symmetric scheme. We learned in Chapter 2, Introduction to Symmetric Encryption, how symmetric schemes work, and in Chapter 3, Asymmetric Encryption, we learned how asymmetric schemes work. This algorithm bases its strength...
