Title: Still good, but starting to be out of date
Review: This is a highly useful, very clearly and lucidly written, and quite comprehensive coverage of cryptography up through the mid-90s. Unfortunately, quite a few developments have occurred since it was written - for example, the new AES encryption standard is not covered. And some of the coverage of legal and political issues is now obsolete - a lot has happened in this area in the past few years. It's still a very good book, but it needs an update.
