I think "Practical Cryptography" [1] is a particularly good book to start with. It looks like the updated version is named "Cryptography Engineering" [2]. I also reference the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" [3] quite often, but it might be concerned too much with crypto algorithm implementation details. It looks like [2] has some material about PKI which I don't remember reading in [1], which might be useful. Otherwise, I think wading through the various IETF documents might be the most effective approach (unfortunately). - Brian [1] http://www.schneier.com/book-practical.html [2] http://www.schneier.com/book-ce.html [3] http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/ -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
