From: Ed Beroset Subj: cryptographic bibliography ____________________________________________________________________________ I'm sorry it took me a little longer than I had anticipated to put together this list, but I think you'll find it worth while. This is a list of books which deal with various aspects of cryptography (including DES, RSA, and many other schemes and topics.) They're organized roughly in reverse chronological order, with newer texts toward the top of the list.

IMPR : [New York] Random House [c1968] ----- end of listing ----- I think that you'll find there's a lot more useful information out there, just waiting for you at your public library. The U.S. Government can also be a useful source of information, as are trade and technical journals and hobbyist magazines. -> Ed <-
