Everyday Cryptography

Review from previous edition Overall, this book is a good nontechnical introduction to cryptography. The author covers essential topics, presents the ideas clearly, and provides problems for further explorations and a good bibliography of other sources'MAA ReviewIt is a very leisurely reading, well-structured and very detailed. It does not assume any mathematical knowledge, making it suitable for being used as a manual for a course on introduction to cryptography’Vicente Muñoz, the European Mathematical SocietyOn a page per page basis it actually represents great value, and should achieve a long shelf life as both textbook and good reference source In terms of a score; for students a 9.5, practitioners 8.5 and general interest readers 8.5, giving an overall average of 9/10. Overall, an excellent book'Mike Rees MBCS CITP, The British Computer SocietyEveryday Cryptography: Fundamental Principles and Applications is an excellent reference’Jawa Eyes
