After a brief account of the history of cryptography, the latest data on encryption protocols and techniques are explained. Describes present-day applications ranging from electronic cash to anonymous messaging and current security concerns. The second section assumes fairly sophisticated knowledge of the C programming language and features numerous source code fragments. Practical implementations of the code are listed throughout the book's second half.

Free Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C
If you are interested in, working in, purchasing certifications, or doing anything real in cyber security you must read this book. One of the cornerstones of information security is knowing how cryptography works and how it is applied. Bruce Schneier writes all of his books with the reader in mind. He is technical when he needs to be and practical the rest of the time. Yes, this information isn't required for any certification and you won't get any kudos for having this information on your resume, yet this is intended for those of us who are professionals in our jobs.
If you have never read any of Mr. Schneier's work, start with any of his other outstanding books first. This publication is not meant for the causal reader. This book is in-depth, detailed, and built for those who are serious about their profession. Bruce takes extremely complex subjects and breaks them down into digestible chunks for those non-mathematicians such as myself. I missed those physics and quantum mechanics classes in college but Mr. Schneier eases the reader into the wild world of modern day cryptography (with a splash of history).
It isn't a book that you can read just once. This document needs to sit near your desk for ready access. If you work with AES, PKI, SSL, or any other cyber security field that has lots of initials in it, you should consider whether or not you want to continue pretending to know everything or are you ready to start your real education.
If you buy this book, you better have a highlighter and a pen to take notes. You will enjoy this materiel, unless you don't understand it. If you don't have dog-eared pages, just buy some "Knuckelheads Guide to Security" and call it a day. This book should make you squirm in your seat. It doesn't have a happy ending but neither does our profession.
Buy it, read it, read it again, and use what you have read. Trust me.
