Title: Deserves all five stars!
Review: As a layman to crypto, I found this book fascinating. It offers great insight to the technologies, and specifically analyzes several algorithms.This is widely considered the de facto text on the subject. I can see why - the text is comprehensive, and the format is very readable. It takes the reader from layman to technical - you can read this at any level and still get great value from it.Using this book, I've been able to solidify my understanding of the different technologies. Schneier's analysis of numerous algorithms has proven invaluable - both in selecting an algorithm, as well as assessing the security of commercial systems.I've had my copy for a couple of years, and it's been a constant reference. Well worth the money.
