Hey guys, This is my first post at cypherpunks... I'm new to the field of crypto and have done only some basic crypto work.I was wondering if you could provide me some papers on crypto and network security ... I'm working on developing secure embedded devices this summer
Read the cryptonomicon! It's a really good intro to a lot of stuff that's harder to teach. It's also not too technical, which might help you get into things. For secure devices you should be worried about: * Entropy * Radio signals (produced by your electronics) * Physical opening of devices (this happens) * Lightweight algorithms. Sorry to have any specific papers or anything, I think others are better capable of recommendations. Have fun out there.

For secure devices you should be worried about:
* ability to audit the entire secure device design, including the silicon
* Entropy * Radio signals (produced by your electronics) * Physical opening of devices (this happens) * Lightweight algorithms.

Please, don't.

That's not a good combination.
From http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Cryptography#Cryptography_is_difficult
" As for databases and real-time programming, cryptography looks deceptively simple. The basic ideas are indeed simple and almost any programmer can fairly easily implement something that handles straightforward cases. However, as in the other fields, there are also some quite tricky aspects to the problems and anyone who tackles the hard cases without both some study of relevant theory and considerable practical experience is almost certain to get it wrong. This is demonstrated far too often. I'd say start with Ross Anderson's book. The 1st edition is online & free: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html Either a bookstore or a university library should have the 2nd edition, which I'm told is even better.

Just a small corection, but the web page you linked to already has the SECOND edition online and for free. And yes, it IS lots better than the first edition. Fun, Stephan --
