    It covers many theories. However, this book is boring and it is hard to transfer what you learned to real world application without other resources. You can not download the small C programs in book if you don’t pay ($). Probably I should buy other books with free programs.

    Kawan-kawan sekalian yang suka hack sini sana ke, buku ni memang bolen mengeraskan lu punya pandangan. Kalau matematik engkau baik jugak, buku ni boleh jadi benda rujukan anda kalau lu nak cipta algorithma kripto. Okek leh, tak mau cakap banyak sangat. Buku ni memang baik, pegi beli sekarang!

    I’ve never seen so many pages devoted to pure text. Man oh man, is there a lot of talk–yak yak yak. All technical issues are detoured, inviting the reader to check out the references listed at the end of the book (all I have to buy is 1,643 references–gee, thanks). I find it disheartening that a 700 page book on cryptography doesn’t give out a lick of information on the actual subject. If you like a bunch of talk and some hand waving explanations, then this book is definitely for you. Engineers and computer programmers may not be satisfied.

    This bookseller has a somewhat low rating and has complaints (“never received the book”, “wrong book”), etc. The book being offered is a used library book and is priced at several multiples over what the later edition sells for new. I can understand selling collectibles at a premium over new, but a book discarded by a library?

    If you have no knowledge on cryptography and want to get some information, this book is suit for you. If you are doing some actual work, it’s not a good one. The book does not cover sufficient mathematic knowledge, and contains errors. E.g., the proof of RSA decryption is absolately wrong! Can’t beleive!
