- Soon time for third edition?
The book is not for the average reader, you must be proficient with code and have a basic grasp of the math behind public key cryptography. The author is doing an excellent job at tryng to explain and simplify, so for the experienced coder it should be a fairly easy read.
The collection of algorithms is impressive and the analysis of them is thorough. Since quite a few were added between the first edition and second, I cannot but help thinking a third edition should be due soon.
I'd say this is good value for the money and a must have for anyone thinking of doing any coding related to (public key and other) cryptography.

Rating:

- Best in the field
This book is an excellent, in-depth guide to cryptography. It is an excellent starting point for a beginner, and is not stuffed with filler pages like so many technical books these days. It includes especially clear coverage of public-key cryptography, and the source code is a welcome bonus.

The only qualms I had was that despite advertising "Protocols, Algorithms and Source Code in C" the book includes only source code right at the very end, to a handful of encryption algorithms. Also, it does not discuss the AES, which I would have liked.

Nonetheless, an excellent books - a necessity for anyone interested in cryptography.

- Highly recommended.
I read this book from cover to cover while on holiday. I was astonished at the number of ways ways in which cryptography can be applied. The maths is kept to a minimum, which suited me, and the concepts were ably covered despite this. I would almost describe this as an exciting read!

Rating:

- not a bad book
The book is well structured, but very difficult, you have to have a lot of background maths before you can understand it, i am studying at university, but i am finding it hard to keep up with the book, yet i would recomend it because it has some aspects in it which are easy to understand

Rating:

- concentrates on unimportant and uninteresting information
The book is too full of useless garbage. The information is also often presented in an over complicated manner.
