Java Cryptography
From Amazon.com: Cryptography isn't all there is to security. But rendering information unintelligible to those without the proper key usually plays a big role in any networked data-sharing system. Java Cryptography shows the Java programmer (with or [... more]

Foundations of Cryptography: Volume 1, Basic Tools
Superb presentation of the theoretical foundations.: We all know what it means for an algorithm to compute a function, but what does it mean for an encryption scheme to be secure? Traditionally, cryptographic schemes were suggested and attacked based on [... more]

Cryptography in C and C++, Second Edition
half large, numbers half cryptography: This book is a great book, but I think the author spent too much time on numbers, and not enough on cryptography. Yes, cryptopgraphy is 95% number theory, but much of the book was creating a library for large [... more]

Elliptic Curves in Cryptography
too much math: This is a fairly complete treatment of elliptic curve cryptography. It suffers from a very uneven treatment. The chapters on implementation are well written and easy to read. The material on the logarithm problem, however, is much too [... more]

Practical Cryptography
this book has no substance: The authors spend far too much time preaching that cryptography is only a small (albeit important) part of security. This is not a new revelation. Most cryptographers have known this for a long time. In fact, the only [... more]

Modern Cryptography: Theory and Practice
Good reference, poorly edited: What's great about Mao's book is that so many aspects of cryptography are covered in an approachable manner and with many good examples. What's not so great about Mao's book is that it is chock full of errors. There are [... more]
