Ask HN: Encryption Books?
Hi HN,
Can you recommend a book about encryption? More specifically, I want to learn more about implementing end to end encryption over the network with private / public keys.
Thanks!

- technion 11y agoI can't recommend that enough - I feel I gained more practical skills doing those challenges than the classroom-led university course in Cryptography.
- gt565k 11y agoAre the "code" links on the left panel supposed to be a starter code base or the solution for each language? http://cryptopals.com/sets/1/challenges/1/ http://cryptopals.com/sets/1/challenges/1/ They links don't work
- technion 11y agoI understood the idea was that solutions were going to be posted on those links - but that hadn't been done yet. It doesn't matter - you can easily search Github for complete solution sets.
- Diti 11y agoI think you might want to have a look at “Implementing SSL / TLS Using Cryptography and PKI” by Joshua Davies. A bit outdated, but very interesting.
