Block ciphers encrypt blocks of plaintext, messages, into blocks of ciphertext under the action of a secret key, and the process of encryption is reversed by decryption which uses the same user-supplied key. Block ciphers are fundamental to modern cryptography, in fact they are the most widely used cryptographic primitive – useful in their own right, and in the construction of other cryptographic mechanisms.
In this book the authors provide a technically detailed, yet readable, account of the state of the art of block cipher analysis, design, and deployment. The authors first describe the most prominent block ciphers and give insights into their design. They then consider the role of the cryptanalyst, the adversary, and provide an overview of some of the most important cryptanalytic methods.
The book will be of value to graduate and senior undergraduate students of cryptography and to professionals engaged in cryptographic design. An important feature of the presentation is the authors' exhaustive bibliography of the field, each chapter closing with comprehensive supporting notes.

This book provides a fantastic introduction to block ciphers and cryptanalysis. The book is reasonably short (just over 200 pages) and provides the right amount of coverage for its topics. It fully explains DES and AES and provides a lesser amount of detail for many other block ciphers. It provides sufficient coverage of major cryptographic attacks to allow the reader to understand them while also providing extensive references for interested readers who may want to implement these attacks or conduct further research. One chapter is also devoted to implementation issues such as modes and padding.
The book includes over 700 references in total and ends each chapter with a categorized list of references relevant to the topic at hand. If you want to conduct research and/or study cryptography in grad school, this is a must.
I'd recommend this book to graduate students in cryptography, software/security engineers working with block cipher implementaiton, or as a second book in cryptography for any curious reader interested in learning more about block ciphers.
