Two books are very widely used as references. Both are now somewhat dated, having been published before the AES competition so they do not include that generation of ciphers.

Reference books

Two books are very widely used as references. Both are now somewhat dated, having been published before the AES competition so they do not include that generation of ciphers.

  • Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C by Bruce Schneier, widely used by programmers home page
  • Handbook of Applied Cryptography by A. J. Menezes, P. C. van Oorschot, and S. A. Vanstone, with more of the math and theory than Schneier PDF download
