The second edition to APPLIED CRYPTOGRAPHY will be published in November. This is not just a correction, it is a major update. There are 50% more words in the second edition. The second edition will be published in both hardback and paperback. Wiley is jacking the price a bit, so I am offering a 15% pre-publication discount. Details will be forthcoming when I invent them. Attached is the table of contents.
