Very good book!

Cryptography has been around for a long time but a solid introductory crypto book is hard to find. This is one of the best crypto book I have ever bought. Well worth the investment and I am sure it is a book that I can always go back to if I need to look up something. It has a nice number theory chapter but I wish it could be more in depth(provides more proofs). The chapters on public-key crypto and related crypto.techniques...

A great guide to the state of the art in cryptography

This is an excellent guide to the state of the art of modern cyptography. Its unique style will benefit a very wide audience: security practitioners are given an insight into cryptographic theory while theoreticians can learn valuable lessons about what goes on in practice.In the early chapters excellent examples are given to motivate security considerations that feature later. Also, the necessary mathematical background is...

Impressive

Modern Cryptography is by far the best first text on cryptography I've ever seen, blowing books like Applied Cryptography out of the water. It's a clear treatment that focuses on building practical systems, focusing on how to avoid common pitfalls. The focus of this book is the correct design of cryptographic protocols that resist attack. This is in contrast to books like Applied Cryptography, which focuses on the tools and...

A nice book on recent years' results in crypto

An excellent book on crypto, concentrating more on the principle behind the modern crypto than just description of the algorithms. Many recent results are included. I would encourage all my PhD students to have it.

Great, complete, book on modern cryptography

If you are a cryptography/security student, developer, architect or researcher, you'll find Modern Cryptography very useful. It's a self-contained book describing the mathematical foundation of crypto algorithms/protocols, their textbook versions, their real-world versions, their analysis and real-world attacks. It's difficult to find useful modern cryptographic techniques (e.g. OAEP, ID-based crypto, ZK proofs) not described...
