Loading... Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, Second…by Bruce Schneier
QA76.9 .A25 S35 (IP)   Farella | Jan 15, 2013 |  I read this book back in 1998, and it was the first serious cryptography book I'd read. It's the classic reference book, and it covers a lot of ground. It's over 15 years old now, so it's missing some of the recent algorithms and techniques. Notable omissions include 128-bit blocksize block ciphers like AES, Twofish and Serpent; and elliptic curve cryptography that's often used on mobile devices. (  ) Pondlife | Apr 16, 2012 | The go-to book on cryptography for programmers. ( ) mcandre | Jul 6, 2010 | Bought this after seeing Bruce Schneier give a talk and never got around to working through it, but from skimming this appears to be an excellent introduction to the theory and implementation of cryptographic algorithms. If I were serious about learning this subject, this book is where I'd start. 1  billmcn | Feb 2, 2010 | Contains both an excellent introduction to information security and the cryptographic problem as well as detailing implementations for many algorithms. Includes a section on real world case studies, but given the book's age, those should be taken with a grain of salt and a heavy dose of research.
