Among the best books on cryptography, Applied Cryptography explains how programmers and electronic communications professionals can use cryptography—the technique of encrypting and deciphering messages—to keep computer data private. It describes dozens of cryptography algorithms, provides practical advice on how to incorporate them into cryptographic software, and demonstrates how they can be used to solve security issues. The book demonstrates how programmers who create computer applications, networks, and storage systems can incorporate security into their software and systems.
