Re: New Puzzle Palace?

I thought the thread was about "The Puzzle Palace." It's certainly possible that Bruce Schneier has contributed to a second edition, beyond the Foreward or whatever it is, but your comments fit with "Applied Cryptography" closely, too.

Have you seen a copy of "The Puzzle Palace," 2nd Ed.?

I wrote to Bruce Schneier about this a month or so ago. He said that he'd gotten the information about the new edition of "The Puzzle Palace" from the authors, and that while the reference in "Applied Cryptography" gave it a 1995 copyright, it actually won't be out until sometime in 1996. -- Jeff Simmons jsimmons@goblin.punk.net
