Bibliography of cryptography
open-in-new
<p>Books on <a href="/facts/Cryptography/e94PEVau">cryptography</a> have been published sporadically and with variable quality for a long time. This is despite the <a href="/facts/Paradox/3VLGjuWf">paradox</a> that secrecy is of the essence in sending confidential messages – see <a href="/facts/Kerckhoffs%2527_principle/xzWqYISs">Kerckhoffs' principle</a>. </p><p>In contrast, the revolutions in <a href="/facts/Cryptography/e94PEVau">cryptography</a> and secure <a href="/facts/Information_transfer/cDXdYmhQ">communications</a> since the 1970s are covered in the available literature. </p>
