+ <dt><i>Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C</i>
+ <dd>by Bruce Schneier
+ <dd>
+ A comprehensive explanation of Cryptography, with information
+ about its history, protocols, and algorithms.  This book is a great
+ introduction to cryptography, with the necessary basics
+ to understand the field.  Also, it has a very extensive reference section.
+ <BR>
+ From Amazon, someone commented "<i>
+ It is common to find that masters of mysterious technical arts are poor communicators. Bruce Schneier
+ demonstrates exceptional skill as a technical communicator. Here is a book about an esoteric subject - one
+ built on a foundation of theoretical mathematics - that ordinary folk can read. Sure, one needs to be
+ motivated by an interest in the subject, and the technical level sometimes requires a more than ordinary
+ background in number theory and the like - but a degree in theoretical mathematics is not necessary to
+ derive pleasure and profit from reading Applied Cryptography.</i>"
