Cryptography Book: The Design And Implementation Of The Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Algorithm Using Python

The Design And Implementation Of The Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Algorithm Using Python

About The Book

The book “The Design And Implementation Of The Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Algorithm Using Python” explains the design of the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange algorithm and the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) algorithm. It also explains the fundamental concepts of mathematics required to understand the said algorithms. It also explains how to implement the algorithms using Python without using any Python library dedicated to them.

Topics Covered in the Book

The first ten chapters of the book explain some fundamental concepts of mathematics required to understand the algorithms.

Chapters 11 and 12 explain the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange algorithm and its implementation using Python without using any Python library dedicated to it.

Chapter 13 explains some fundamental concepts of elliptic curves and how they can be used to implement the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) algorithm. Chapter 14 explains the ECDH algorithm.

Chapter 15 explains specific implementation concerns of the ECDH algorithm. Chapter 16 explains the implementation of the ECDH algorithm using Python without using any Python library dedicated to the algorithm.

The security of the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange algorithm largely depends on solving the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP). Chapter 17 explains the DLP, some algorithms for solving it, their Python implementation, and limitations.

Calculate the pseudoinverse of a matrix using Python

What is the pseudoinverse of a matrix? We know that if A is a square matrix with full rank, then A-1 is said to be the inverse of A if the following condition holds: $latex AA^{-1}=A^{-1}A=I $ The pseudoinverse or the Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix is a...

Cholesky decomposition using Python

What is Cholesky decomposition? A square matrix A is said to have Cholesky decomposition if it can be written as a product of a lower triangular matrix and its conjugate transpose. $latex A=LL^{*} $ If all the entries of A are real numbers, then the conjugate...

Tensor Hadamard Product using Python

In one of our previous articles, we already discussed what the Hadamard product in linear algebra is. We discussed that if A and B are two matrices of size mxn, then the Hadamard product of A and B is another mxn matrix C such that: $latex H_{i,j}=A_{i,j} \times...

Perform tensor addition and subtraction using Python

We can use numpy nd-array to create a tensor in Python. We can use the following Python code to perform tensor addition and subtraction. import numpy A = numpy.random.randint(low=1, high=10, size=(3, 3, 3)) B = numpy.random.randint(low=1, high=10, size=(3, 3, 3)) C =...

How to create a tensor using Python?

What is a tensor? A tensor is a generalization of vectors and matrices. It is easily understood as a multidimensional array. For example, in machine learning, we can organize data in an m-way array and refer it as a data tensor. Data related to images, sounds, movies,...

How to combine NumPy arrays using horizontal stack?

We can use the hstack() function from the numpy module to combine two or more NumPy arrays horizontally. For example, we can use the following Python code to combine three NumPy arrays horizontally. import numpy A = numpy.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]) B =...

How to combine NumPy arrays using vertical stack?

Let’s say we have two or more NumPy arrays. We can combine these NumPy arrays vertically using the vstack() function from the numpy module. For example, we can use the following Python code to combine three NumPy arrays vertically. import numpy A = numpy.array([[1, 2,...

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) using Python

What is Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)? Let A be an mxn rectangular matrix. Using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), we can decompose the matrix A in the following way: $latex A_{m \times n}=U_{m \times m}S_{m \times n}V_{n \times n}^T $ Here, U is an mxm matrix....

Eigen decomposition of a square matrix using Python

Let A be a square matrix. Let’s say A has k eigenvalues λ1, λ2, ... λk. And the corresponding eigenvectors are X1, X2, ... Xk. $latex X_1=\begin{bmatrix} x_{11} \\ x_{21} \\ x_{31} \\ ... \\ x_{k1} \end{bmatrix} \\ X_2=\begin{bmatrix} x_{12} \\ x_{22} \\ x_{32} \\ ......

How to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors using Python?

In our previous article, we discussed what eigen values and eigenvectors of a square matrix are and how we can calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a square matrix mathematically. We discussed that if A is a square matrix, then $latex (A- \lambda I) \vec{u}=0...
