[PLUG] Applied Cryptography (was: Encryption Algorithms)

[Brent Meshier]

I love that book!  I've always wanted one in my personal library, but I'm
too cheap to shell out $85... I mean that's almost up to school book prices
:)  CSociety's library could definately use a copy, now if only someone had
one to donate.

You owe it to yourself to get a copy of Bruce Schneier's "Applied
Cryptography."  Not only does it have RSA, it has it in such
excruciating detail that your head will swim just reading one page.  It
doesn't have anything on Cayley-Purser (haven't heard of that one).
Well worth reading.

Now, don't go putting any back doors in that chip of yours... :-)
