Folks interested in a technical introduction to cryptography should start
with the December, 1979 issue of Computing Surveys.  Among other things,
it has pointers to things like Rivest, Shamir, and Adelson's paper in CACM
on their public-key cryptosystem.  Folks interested in a non-technical
introduction should read David Kahn's "The Codebreakers", preferably the
hard-cover edition.
