Introduction
In this chapter, we will be covering encryption and encoding in the world of Python. Encryption and encoding are two very important aspects of web applications, so doing them using Python!
We will be digging into the world of MD5s and SHA hashes, knocking on the door of Base64 and ROT13, and ...
