Here, in one comprehensive, soup-to-nuts book, is the solution for Internet modern-day cryptography. Written by a security expert with a wealth of practical experience, this book covers network and Internet security in terms that are easy to understand, using proven technology, systems, and solutions. From the client workstation to the Web host to the e-mail server, every aspect of this important topic is examined and explained. The once-daunting subject of cryptography is demystified and applied to today's security challenges.
Great book as a reference for SSL and TLS. In general, the book covers crypto used in network protocols. If your just getting started, I highly recommend it.
