40 Algorithms Every Programmer Should Know

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about cryptographic algorithms. We started by identifying the security goals of a problem. We then discussed various cryptographic techniques and also looked at the details of the PKI infrastructure. Finally, we looked at the different ways of protecting a trained machine learning model against common attacks. Now, you should be able to understand the fundamentals of security algorithms used to protect modern IT infrastructures.

In the next chapter, we will look at designing large-scale algorithms. We will study the challenges and trade-offs involved in designing and selecting large algorithms. We will also look at the use of a GPU and clusters to solve complex problems.
