 В данном практическом руководстве по современному шифрованию анализируются фундаментальные математические идеи, лежащие в основе криптографии. Рассказывается о шифровании с аутентификацией, безопасной случайности, функциях хеширования, блочных шифрах и методах криптографии с открытым ключом, в частности RSA и криптографии на эллиптических кривых.

 Каждая глава содержит обсуждение типичных ошибок реализации с примерами из практики и подробное описание возможных проблем, сопровождаемое рекомендациями по их устранению.

 Независимо от того, занимаетесь вы разработкой профессионально или только начинаете знакомство с предметом, в этой книге вы найдете полный обзор современной криптографии и ее приложений.

 Наша книга не посвящена взлому информационных систем, поэтому если вы надеетесь с ее помощью взломать банк, сайт или еще что-либо, можете отложить ее в сторону. Но если вы хотите освоить программирование «взлома» на C++ и отойти от рутинных примеров, которых навалом в любом самоучителе, эта книга для вас. В ней мы не будем объяснять основы программирования на C++, т.к. считаем, что вы уже освоили азы и умеете пользоваться компилятором, чтобы откомпилировать программу.

 Хакер умеет найти в программе недостатки, скрытые возможности, лазейки, и сделать так, чтобы заставить все это работать неправильно или необычно. Хакер видит то, что не видят другие. А чтобы у вас была возможность так видеть, вы должны знать языки программирования, и С++ для этого – отличный вариант. Мы поговорим об объектно-ориентированном программировании; напишем приложение клиент/сервер; разберемся с алгоритмами поиска и сортировки; поищем «жертву» с помощью сканера портов; обсудим шифрованием файлов и займемся разработкой Malware. В общем, рассмотрим программирование на С++ глазами хакера.

 Python has made software development easier, but it falls short in several areas including memory management that lead to poor performance and security. Rust, on the other hand, provides memory safety without using a garbage collector, which means that with its low memory footprint, you can build high-performant and secure apps relatively easily. However, rewriting everything in Rust can be expensive and risky as there might not be package support in Rust for the problem being solved. This is where Python bindings and pip come in.

 This book will help you, as a Python developer, to start using Rust in your Python projects without having to manage a separate Rust server or application. Seeing as you'll already understand concepts like functions and loops, this book covers the quirks of Rust such as memory management to code Rust in a productive and structured manner. You'll explore the PyO3 crate to fuse Rust code with Python, learn how to package your fused Rust code in a pip package, and then deploy a Python Flask application in Docker that uses a private Rust pip module. Finally, you'll get to grips with advanced Rust binding topics such as inspecting Python objects and modules in Rust.

 By the end of this Rust book, you'll be able to develop safe and high-performant applications with better concurrency support.

What You Will Learn

• Explore the quirks of the Rust programming language that a Python developer needs to understand to code in Rust
• Understand the trade-offs for multiprocessing and thread safety to write concurrent code
• Build and manage a software project with cargo and crates
• Fuse Rust code with Python so that Python can import and run Rust code
• Deploy a Python Flask application in Docker that utilizes a private Rust pip module
• Inspect and create your own Python objects in Rust

Who this book is for:

While writing this book, I realized that it was almost impossible to satisfy every potential reader's needs when it comes to game development. Game development is a diverse industry with many different platforms and genres, and each one has its own unique characteristics that cannot be covered in a single book. Therefore, I decided to focus on a specific audience: game programmers who are working on mobile or indie games using the Unity engine. These programmers are in the process of refactoring their code to make it more maintainable and scalable, and they have a basic understanding of the Unity engine and the C# language. Senior programmers working on larger-scale games may find some examples in this book to be limited, but they will still find valuable insights into the challenges they face in their own projects.Daily, however, the content of this book may offer another perspective on the use of design patterns in Unity. Therefore, feel free to skip any chapter if you are already familiar with the theory and would like to see how I have implemented a specific pattern.
