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.

". . .the best introduction to cryptography I've ever seen. . . .The book the National Security Agency wanted never to be published. . . ." -Wired Magazine

". . .monumental . . . fascinating . . . comprehensive . . . the definitive work on cryptography for computer programmers . . ." -Dr. Dobb's Journal

". . .easily ranks as one of the most authoritative in its field." -PC Magazine

The book details how programmers and electronic communications professionals can use cryptography-the technique of enciphering and deciphering messages-to maintain the privacy of computer data. 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.

With a new Introduction by the author, this premium edition will be a keepsake for all those committed to computer and cyber security.

Excellent book. On one hand It is a comperhebsive introduction to many topics in cryptography. On the other hand it dives into details that allows understanding the essence of the protocos. Most important, it delives complex ideas very clearly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good resource, a bit outdated and incomplete
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
I've used this book as a resource for teaching and for my own personal learning. Bruce Schneier is an incredible leader in the field, and he is know for his explanations that makes difficult concepts easy to grasp.

That said, this book is a bit out of date if you are interested in studying any of the currently used technologies. Also, there is some errata that can confuse people not familiar with the topics already. Finally, some topics contain incomplete discussions.

I would love to see an updated version of this book!

I bought this book because, with all the discussion in the news about Apple and IBM and the security of the iphone, I thought it was time I took a deep dive into understanding how this "stuff" actually works. This book has been quite eye-opening.

Great Book, lives up to its reputation. I'm reading through the book linearly, it walks you through in a nice, easy manner and thoroughly covers each topic from basic terminology, protocols, and more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not an update!
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2015
Verified Purchase
Be forewarned, this "updated" edition is not updated. I mistakenly assumed the author would have added coverage of AES, which became the standard after DES was defeated, given the recent (2015) issue date. WRONG. This is just an expensive repackaging of the same old 1996 volume I already had in paperback. If you have the older version already, learn from my mistake. You don't need this. If, however, you don't have a copy and you work with cryptography, or need a good reference on older tech, you might want it. It is NOT "current" as the description claims, however; not by any measure. Wanna buy a used paperback version? :-)

After dabbling in cyber security topics for a while, and reading popular books on the subject (including those by Bruce Schneier himself), decided to go directly to the source and try to understand how it all fits together. I'm glad I did. I would recommend anyone with similar interests to do the same.
