Abstract
Cryptography and cryptanalysis are two fascinating and highly technical disciplines that have played a critical role in modern communication and security. Cryptography is the practice of protecting data using encryption algorithms, while cryptanalysis is trying to break those algorithms. Whether you have just become interested in these topics or have been studying them for some time, this step-by-step guide helps you get started in the world of cryptography and cryptanalysis. From understanding the basics of cryptography to exploring advanced techniques, this guide provides you with all the necessary information to become an expert in the field. Along the way, you learn about the history of cryptography, common algorithms and techniques used in encryption, and the tools and resources available to help you grow your knowledge. Therefore, let’s get started!
