Re: Need info on Encyption book

Has anyone heard of this book [_Top_Secret_ - Data Encryption Techniques] and is it with the $19.95 that they want for it?

Only if you have a pressing and immediate need for a doorstop, or need special help solving the "Cryptoquotes" in your local paper. Based on my inspection of a copy at a local bookstore, it's utter and complete rubbish. Spend the extra thirty bucks and get a copy of Bruce Schneier's book _Applied Cryptography_ instead. -- Lefty (lefty@apple.com) C:.M:.C:., D:.O:.D:.
