And what book should be the replacement?
- tptacek 13y agoIf you're not actually going to read anything, you can probably use any book to equal effect. I recommend Vollman's You Bright And Risen Angels.
- gtt 13y agoI've recently started reading Applied Cryptography. Should I give it up in favour of some other alternative? For example "You Bright And Risen Angels" does not look like the one.
- nbpoole 13y agoI think tptacek's point is that the answer to your question is spelled out very clearly on the page. ;-) From the page: > You should own Ferguson and Schneier’s follow-up, Cryptography Engineering (C.E.). Written partly in penance, the new book deftly handles material the older book stumbles over. C.E. wants to teach you the right way to work with cryptography without wasting time on GOST and El Gamal. Plus a whole section at the end which starts with "If this stuff is interesting to you, here’s some additional reading:"
- gtt 13y agoThank you, I've missed this part and additional reading is all over my head
