The edition I had was probably a bit out of date but it was readable and fairly clearly explained, although there were some parts where it seemed like the author was just rehashing the relevant RFC/standard. This is good for people who know nothing liek me as a sort of overview, but if u are looking for theoretical details or at the other end of the spectrum, practical implementation details, better find a different book.

EDIT: please note a lot of stuff in this book e.g. the PGP email stuff is out of date and not secure, has problems

Một cuốn sách được dùng làm tài liệu tham khảo trong 2 môn về mật mã mà mình được học ở HCMUS. Cuốn sách cung cấp đầy đủ các kiến thức để mọi người nhập môn vào mật mã học như toán, các thuật toán từ cơ bản đến phức tạp và đi kèm theo đó là rất nhiều bài tập để có thể thực hành. Rất đáng để đọc nếu có hứng thú với mật mã, bảo mật.
Muốn viết review này bằng tiếng Việt vì thấy ít người nào review sách security bằng tiếng Việt trên goodreads quá. Coi như là mình mở bát chuỗi review sách chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Việt vậy 🐧

Has proved to be very usefull in learning the basics of cryptography

[Joe Cole]

I have been reading this book as a text book in my college years and also at graduate school. It is an excellent reference book for anyone in the security field

[Ahmed Abd El-Hamid]

I like this book because it's way of explaining concepts is clear and concise .. and everything written in each chapter is important to read and understand

[Jilvin Jacob]

Should do more justice to the subject and it's beauty.

[Scott Holstad]

This isn't one of the harder books on the topic, but sometimes that can be a good thing. This is one of the better intro type books I've read. Definitely recommended.

[Veena Nayak]

This is one of the best book to start with your journey into cryptography. Highly recommend for all beginners who are really interested in this field.

[Gilberto Lopes]

Os exercícios propostos durante a leitura são importantes para praticar a teoria que se propõe.

[Ibrahim Radi]

Great book to add to your library, very detailed, and the concepts are well explained.
I've been reading this book in a Data Security course at the university.

[Rissalat Ahmed]

A great introductory textbook to learn about encryption, cyber security, safety standards and a lot in between.

BESTTTTTTT !!!! Cryptography needs to be taught to everyone.

[Bushra GM]

It was great to have it from my friend , and you know it's a study book for that I rated it with 3 , but really I didn't read the whole book , and still I didn't like the way its information presented to the students :( , it was really black , and no more hash explanation that I personally like to see in IT Books. even that I like Cryptography so much , but this book wasn't something which will make you love it .

[Ohud Saud]

I gives you the principles of cryptography, although some believes it's a good start, I think you need to be an expert or someone with IT background to get the benefit you expect. Great book to add to your library, very detailed and concepts are well explained.

I will use this as a reference forever. It's a great introduction to Number theory!

[Praveen]

fine good

[Henk]

Not the easiest book to read or study. Fairly dated in this edition, still valuable as starting point.
