Cryptography and encryption are integral to our daily lives, extending beyond just geeks and spies. This book introduces the fundamentals of digital cryptography and essential practices organizations must adopt to combat data theft and eavesdropping. You will explore digital encryption concepts, key algorithms, and their applications. From an enterprise perspective, it delves into common attacks on systems and strategies to counter them. The book also addresses quantum computing, highlighting its differences from traditional computing and its future potential. After establishing the basics, it examines how quantum computers operate in practice. The focus then shifts to quantum cryptography, particularly quantum key distribution (QKD), and how it contrasts with current encryption methods. Current QKD implementations, such as those by SwissQuantum and the DARPA Quantum Network, are also discussed. Ultimately, you will learn how to defend against cryptographic attacks in the emerging quantum era, including the use of zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) systems. This book enhances your understanding of cryptographic concepts and introduces you to the transformative realm of quantum cryptography, equipping you to appreciate digital encryption algorithms, secure your infrastructure, grasp quantum information science, and implement QKD effectively.

Focusing on C#, Java, and Python, this book provides a practical introduction to programming, emphasizing real-world applications. It features numerous code listings to enhance understanding and aims to bridge generational gaps through technology. Readers will gain insights into the daily experiences of programmers, making complex concepts accessible and engaging.

Primitive software chatbots emerged in the 1960s, evolving swiftly through the decades and becoming able to provide engaging human-to-computer interactions sometime in the 1990s. Today, conversational technology is ubiquitous in many homes. Paired with web-searching abilities and neural networking, modern chatbots are capable of many tasks and are a major driving force behind machine learning and the quest for strong artificial intelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI). Sophisticated artificial intelligence is changing the online world as advanced software chatbots can provide customer service, research duties, and assist in healthcare. Modern chatbots have indeed numerous applications — including those of a malicious nature. They can write our essays, conduct autonomous scams, and potentially influence politics. The Book of Chatbots is both a retrospective and a review of current artificial intelligence-driven conversational solutions. It explores their appeal to businesses and individuals as well as their greater social aspects, including the impact on academia. The book explains all relevant concepts for readers with no previous knowledge in these topics. Unearthing the secrets of virtual assistants such as the (in)famous ChatGPT and many other exciting technologies, The Book of Chatbots is meant for anyone interested in the topic, laypeople and IT-enthusiasts alike.
