Hello Everyone, Some time back someone had sent a mail to this group with the subject "Encryption Basics" and had asked for good books on the topic.
I had suggested the book Handbook of Applied Cryptography (available online) and Applied Cryptography by Schenier which I thought was not available online. Today, from a mail on this newsgroup, I discovered Applied Crypto is indeed available online. You too can check it out at http://munitions.vipul.net/documents/appliedcrypto.zip I dont know the legality of the this document etc. So please be warned before downloading it. Best Regards, Dhar
