The book "Cryptography and Data Security" by Dorothy E. Denning (published in 1981-82 or thereabouts) is pretty good. It's a textbook, and therefore doesn't provide too much in the way of startling revelations, however, as a newcomer to cryptography, I found it contains some very helpful information. --Dave Curry decvax!pur-ee!davy eevax.davy@purdue
