+From Amazon, someone commented " +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." +- +[Order +from Amazon] +
