Cracking Codes with Python

This book teaches you how to program in Python by creating and breaking ciphers used to encrypt secret messages. You'll start with simple programs like the Caesar cipher and work your way up to modern secure data transmissions. Each program comes with full code and line-by-line explanations. You'll learn to create real working programs, use dictionary files to detect English or nonsense text, write your own programming modules, and debug common errors. Cracking Codes with Python is a chance to pick up Python skills while getting a peek into the intriguing world of cryptography.
