There are very good reasons to say little about "conventional cryptanalysis": it just doesn't matter much with modern ciphers, such as public key systems. Modern ciphers don't fall to conventional attacks based on word frequency, pattern analysis, etc.
I realize that this may also be considered an out of date subject, but what's a good reference for codes as opposed to cyphers (other than the one reference in the Cyphernomicon which includes "codes" in its title)? Thanks, -Allen
