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.

Um otimo livro. Atende as expectativas teoricas e de implementacao. Os exemplos encontram-se um linguagem C. A biblioteca de algoritmos idealizada preve a utilizacao do compilador C GNU. Mas, com poucas modificacoes pode-se utilizar estes algoritmos para outros compiladores. Recomendo este livro para estudantes de graduacao como acompanhamento de disciplinas de processamento de imagens, os quais, como eu, geralmente anseiam por ver realizadas as explanacoes teoricas.

Overview (I.M.H.O)

This book is carefully written, serious mathematical textbook that is written to slip `traditionally difficult' Mathematical skills under your `Radar' disguised as fun things to read and do. The book can be seen from several levels for a wider potential audience. To me, its starts as if its designed to increase the mathematical skills in Computer Science students, and ends as a book for the more mathematical inclined. In no time, the tougher supporting mathematical justifications are to help the reader conceptual grasp. I bought this with a short-term special offer from amazon.com AND favorable exchange rates for a nice price. the book is printed on excellent paper and will last a long time.

I felt the first few chapters were really geared towards newcomers to 2D/3D Maths and so every topic in the earlier chapters were covered very slowly and in detail. However, as I progressed through the chapters I noticed the authors had started accelerating through the topics at a quicker pace and I was left somewhat confused and so I had to research many of the topics from other resources.

One thing I really didn't like about the book was that the exercises were left to be done at the end of each chapter. The problem with this approach was that some chapters expanded across many pages packed with information you needed to know and thus, like a traditional maths book I would have liked to practice a few questions after each topic and not after a whole chapter.

Although the author's style of writing is pleasant, the book leaves much to be desired.

Initially the most basic concepts are spelled out, and even derived in the early chapters, the later chapters stray from this, and some of the important results differ from the suggested derivation.

Admittedly no single website would provide as much information as clearly, and this book is a usefull start for those new to the field. But it should be read with critical attention to the details, and without any compunction about closing the book and getting on with the task in hand.

A good book which does NOT cover all the aspects of discreet mathematics, such as Abstract Algebra, Predicate Calculus. Otherwise it is well done. It is very good stuff indeed.

So good it makes me want to sing: "Your rhymes are ridiculous, mine are meticulous, prepared with Algebra, trigonometry, logic and Calculus"
