Learn to deploy proven cryptographic tools in your applications and
services Cryptography is, quite simply, what makes security and
privacy in the digital world possible. Tech professionals,
including programmers, IT admins, and security analysts, need to
understand how cryptography works to protect users, data, and
assets. Implementing Cryptography Using Python will teach you the
essentials, so you can apply proven cryptographic tools to secure
your applications and systems. Because this book uses Python, an
easily accessible language that has become one of the standards for
cryptography implementation, you'll be able to quickly learn how to
secure applications and data of all kinds. In this easy-to-read
guide, well-known cybersecurity expert Shannon Bray walks you
through creating secure communications in public channels using
public-key cryptography. You'll also explore methods of
authenticating messages to ensure that they haven't been tampered
with in transit. Finally, you'll learn how to use digital
signatures to let others verify the messages sent through your
services. Learn how to implement proven cryptographic tools, using
easy-to-understand examples written in Python Discover the history
of cryptography and understand its critical importance in today's
digital communication systems Work through real-world examples to
understand the pros and cons of various authentication methods
Protect your end-users and ensure that your applications and
systems are using up-to-date cryptography
An introduction reviews previous scholarship, and concludes that
the cultic aspects of Judges 17-18 have not been examined in any
depth. It then goes on to deal with the historical and redactional
issues which previous scholars have found interesting. The issues
of provenance and dating are then examined with the conclusion that
the text was written down in the immediate aftermath of the
Assyrian conquest of Dan in an attempt to preserve its sacred
traditions. The text therefore reflects the self-understanding of
the priests of Dan in the period immediately prior to its fall. The
text of Judges 17-18 is then subjected to a rhetorical critical
examination, followed by a more traditional form critical study.
The next section is a comparison of similar cultic foundation
stories from other cultures. Three major chapters examine the three
major cultic issues raised by the text itself: images, priests and
divination. Each chapter draws on evidence from the Hebrew Bible
and its environment in an attempt to clarify the nature of the cult
of Dan. Broadly, each chapter concludes that although there were
some features peculiar to the cult reflected by Dan, in general,
the Danite cult was not greatly different from that of its
neighbours. A final chapter deals with what the text says about the
tribe of Levi, with the conclusion that according to Judges 17-18,
there was once a secular tribe of Levi. The conclusion draws a
brief picture of cultic life in Dan in its final years.
