This is absolutely the best book on encryption. I strongly recommend it. ( )A lot more information at http://www.schneier.com THE book about cryptography, including explanations of algorithms, weaknesses, crypto-theory, etc. Simply the best book out there for the programmer that needs to learn and understand the fundamentals of *applied* cryptography. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0471117099, Paperback)Cryptographic techniques have applications far beyond the obvious uses of encoding and decoding information. For Internet developers who need to know about capabilities, such as digital signatures, that depend on cryptographic techniques, there's no better overview than Applied Cryptography, the definitive book on the subject. Bruce Schneier covers general classes of cryptographic protocols and then specific techniques, detailing the inner workings of real-world cryptographic algorithms including the Data Encryption Standard and RSA public-key cryptosystems. The book includes source-code listings and extensive advice on the practical aspects of cryptography implementation, such as the importance of generating truly random numbers and of keeping keys secure.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:01 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
