4.0 out of 5 stars For cryptography classes very informative reference book with heavy emphasis on math, November 14, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Securing Information and Communications Systems: Principles, Technologies, and Applications (Information Security & Privacy) (Hardcover)
I purchased this as an additional reference book for a graduate class (cryptography) in Information Assurance particularly because our textbook is from 1996. This book presents the materials we cover in class in a much better format than the textbook (Schneier, Applied Cryptography) which keeps referring the reader to materials from other chapters so you are jumping all over the place). While Schneier is better for me since I do not have a heavy mathematics background, this book would be better for those students who do. I found it to present cryptographic mathematical principles more than a narrative explanation. So, if you can do the math, it is a good reference book.
