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. ( )

I've owned this book for two years and have been picking away at it since January of this year. This is absolutely the best book on encryption. I strongly recommend it. ( )

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. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (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.
