    Long awaited update of the Practical Cryptography
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2010*

I just got the book, skimmed over it and compared it with the 1st edition (
  
Practical Cryptography







  
  
    ).First of all, if you don't have the 1st edition, this is an excellent buy. It's a "middle ground" book and probably the one you should start with if you are interested in practical cryptography. Then, depending on your interests and needs, you could proceed to a technically and mathematically much deeper (but somewhat obsolete) 
  
Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, Second Edition







  
  
     or to some other direction using the foundation laid down in this book and then getting other book(s) about "hard-core" mathematics of cryptography or about "softer" methods of social engineering and real-life security.I will now assume you know what the book is all about and that you are considering upgrading it so here are some quick things I hope to help you deciding:- first of all, obviously, the errata from the 1st edition is incorporated into the text (there is no errata for the 2nd edition yet but keep checking on the book's home page [ [..] ]) which also contains the links from the book so you don't have to type them yourself while investigating- the algorithms, protocols and formulas look the same but they might have minor tweaks, most of the stuff I looked up is the same as in the 1st edition- the 2nd edition has 60 pages less and that's because the line spacing is smaller (the text is more dense) and not because some material has been omitted (at least I could not find anything significant being removed)- one (really small) speculative mathematical subchapter has been removed (4.5.6 in 1st edition: Equation Solving Attacks); I guess the attack/math did not turn out to work- the new addition to the team of the authors is a university professor and, as a result of that, the book has more of a textbook feel: exercises at the end of each chapter are added and the preface now contains example syllabi subchapter with three course proposals (6, 10 and 12 week) based on the book; it is also mentioned in the preface that the book is now "more suited for a self-study"- the chapter layout is exactly the same as in 1st edition but off by one since "Our Design Philosophy" from the 1st edition has been presented a bit later as a subchapter of another chapter- there are more references at the end (130 vs 97)- minor: the cover is more boring, it really looks and, with the denser text inside, feels like a textbook while the 1st edition looked more like an engineering/hacking bookThese are my very first quick and most likely incomplete and biased impressions, I might come back and update the review if I find anything significant.

    Pragmatic Guide To Cryptography Engineering
  

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2017*

Cryptography Engineering discusses building cryptographic systems from the ground up. The focus is on the engineering and security aspect, rather than the theoretical or mathematical. While the book is highly technical in some places, the writing was thoughtful and easy to understand.Part One of the book looks at the building blocks of cryptography and security. Block ciphers, hashing, and authentication are covered in depth. Possible attack scenarios are covered as well. The book does an excellent job looking at how to build a secure system and how malicious actors can try and bypass the security.Common examples uses Alice and Bob in diagrams, and 'Eve' is used to represent eavesdroppers or attackers. The diagrams helped me a lot in understanding some situations.The mid-sections of the book examine some exisiting cryptographic protocols. The focus in on how they are engineered. While there is some math, the more complex math is left as a reference. I thought this was a good decision by the authors so that the book remained readable and did not get lost in theory.There is an extensive section on Public Key Infrastructure and managing secret keys. The authors tended to focus more on security concerns in this area.Generally the book does a great job discussing cryptography and security. The three authors are clearly experts and convey their experience in a single voice throughout the book. If you are looking to build a system with cryptography, definitely get this book.

    A very readable introduction to cryptography and security
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2021*

I found this to be a very readable and highly enjoyable introduction.  Everything is clearly explained, the math is worked out with clear commentary so it is easy to follow along and understand, and the exercises at the end of the chapters are actually fun and interesting.
