From the world's most renowned security technologist, Bruce Schneier, this 20th Anniversary Edition is the most definitive reference on cryptography ever published and is the seminal work on cryptography. Cryptographic techniques have applications far beyond the obvious uses of encoding and decoding information. For developers who need to know about capabilities, such as digital signatures, that depend on cryptographic techniques, there's no better overview than Applied Cryptography , the definitive book on the subject. Bruce Schneier covers general classes of cryptographic protocols and then specific techniques, detailing the inner workings of real-world cryptographic algorithms including the Data Encryption Standard and RSA public-key cryptosystems. The book includes source-code listings and extensive advice on the practical aspects of cryptography implementation, such as the importance of generating truly random numbers and of keeping keys secure.

It describes dozens of cryptography algorithms, gives practical advice on how to implement them into cryptographic software, and shows how they can be used to solve security problems. The book shows programmers who design computer applications, networks, and storage systems how they can build security into their software and systems.

I wonder how many people remember the first release of Applied Cryptography, and all the hoops you had to jump through (to prove US Citizenship and residency) just to get the floppy disk with the source code. It was so amazing to watch the efforts to scan the pages to retrieve the source code, and share it, outside the US. In some cases, copies of the floppy disk may have found their way to others unable to see either the digital scans, or to acquire their own floppy.
Bruce graduated to the rarefied company occupied by others such as Phil Zimmerman, risking professional ruin, and imprisonment, by publishing this. I have the second edition as well, but this copy is one of my most prized possessions.
I should also point out that (assuming some basic math background, without which you aren't going to understand crypto anyway) this is an excellent resource on most of the popular algorithms of the day, and still useful to understand how it all works. ( )
