This page is the "channel wiki" for the IRC channel #crypto on irc.freenode.net. It has the same purpose as a FAQ. Here we can collect links to relevant things like beginner introductions and other things.
Web links
- Cryptography introduction at University of Rhode Island.
- www.cryptostuff.com - Another beginners tutorial.
- Crypto Mini-FAQ
Wikipedia
Wikipedia has more than 1000 articles on cryptography, many of them really good. Here are some examples:
- Cryptography - The main article.
- Block cipher modes of operation - How to properly use block ciphers.
- Cryptographic hash function
- XTEA and RC4 - Two easy to implement ciphers with code examples.
Email and Usenet lists
- sci.crypt - The by now almost mythical and still very active Usenet list. Readable among others through the Google groups interface.
Books
- Handbook of Applied Cryptography - One of the better crypto books available. And you can download it for free (legally) as pdf-files from their web site. Note that there are several different books called "Applied Cryptography".
- Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier. The other good one with the same name.
