I think this book might have been great, but today, it shouldn't be considered more than a historical document. Even though a 20-year anniversary version was released, it has no changes but a new introduction and in it, Bruce Schneier says:
'For those who want a more current book, I recommend Cryptography Engineering, which I wrote in 2010 with Niels Ferguson and Tadayoshi Kohno. But for a review of those heady times of the mid-1990s, and an introduction to what has become an essential technology..more
Essential to any developer. Will teach you the basics which have become the 80/20 for me to understand cryptography in general.

Getting hold of a copy of Applied Cryptography took some effort (maybe the crypto export controls it makes such a big deal about have something to do with it, but incompetence is more likely to blame), but it's everything I expected it to be: a rock-solid book about cryptography as she is practised, with enough theoretical background to be relevant and links to an endless amount more.
However, the first edition of this book came out in 1994, and this second edition in 1996, and that's a long time..more
Lots of detail on algorithms that are now out of date, but the opening chapters on crypto protocols were terrific. By far the largest bibliography I recall seeing - over 1500 entries. I'd recommend Practical Cryptography (or its later edition, Cryptography Engineering) above this one, even though (and partially *because*) it lacks the level of implementation / algorithm detail here.

This is a classic, foundational book in cryptography. It helped me along quite a bit early in my career.

Applied Cryptography is a lengthy and in depth survey of its namesake. Detail oriented with bits of temporal or political observations, Bruce Schnier’s book takes the reader through weak and strong crypto protocols and algorithms. This book also brings a fair amount of history along with it. The history, for example, of DES is fascinating in its own right. What was NSA doing? What were their intentions? Was it a happy coincidence of missed expectations? By its very secretive nature, the reader i..more
Great read! As this book is almost 25years old it is not up to date on the latest crypto algorithms, but how often can you read a technical book and check with wikipedia or google and look 25 years into the future?

Excellent insight into practical applications of cryptography - particularly for computer programming, but not exclusively
What a wonderful book! I studied some crypto in college (public key and zero knowledge proofs) and found the field almost incomprehensible: lots of very specific number theories, very little overview information. Applied Cryptography fills this vital gap very successfully, going from completely introductory information to some fairly specific details on particular systems. The 2000 or so references in the back are great when you need to follow up on particular details. It's good this book was pu..more
This is the mother of all cryptographic books ever published, explaining each & every encryption algorithm EVER designed on this planet. Its an exhaustive list of algorithms, explaining each in detail, with their strengths and weaknesses, in a practical manner. The book is highly mathematical, and security people who deal only with codes and networks might have difficulties in the esoteric level of maths involved. All in All, Applied Cryptography is a great book, a must have on every securit..more

While a classic, this book is beginning to show its age. It provides a solid overview of the fundamentals. However, it fails to cover many modern algorithms (such as Rjindael); this is, of course, no fault of the authors as these algorithms weren't published until after the book went to press. Jan 23, 2013Sean rated it it was amazing
This book is good for explaining how the protocols and algorithms work, but it isn't nearly as useful for those looking to understand the practical side of cryptography.
Shelves: brainfood, computer-technology, classic, reviewed, cryptography, geek, favorites
For its time, it was amazing, not just for the subject matter but the clarity of its explanation. For me, it helped me understand a lot of the mathematical background and the pitfalls. I think he was already beginning to focus on the security implications of protocols over cryptographic implementation and the combination of the two subjects is powerful. Yes, a lot is dated, but the same mistakes keep being made. Learn from it and then find a more current text for implementations.
Sep 20, 2008Cameron rated it really liked it
This is an excellent book on all the mainstream and not so mainstream encryption algorithms(as of several years ago). It does not include the new AES, or recent issues with md5, but Schneier has given some recommendations/predictions in this book that are in line with recent news.
I would have given this 5 start, but it is several years old, and needs to be updated.
I instantly had bought this one after I heard a lot from Internet sources about Bruce and his work. I have only skimmed through the book; looks good as an introductory text. Bruce Schneier is well known for his contributions in the field of cryptography and computer security; his ideas and writings have ignited many minds. I hope this one does good too. :)
Jul 10, 2018Mark Kubacki rated it it was ok
Although it's a good introduction to someone new in the field, it's dated and missing some important new schemes. For example, the quite accessible and widespread ed25519 curves, with a discussion about twist-security. And it's missing alternate schemes, such as Schnorr's; curve discussion; padding schemes and so forth. I'd love to see an update of this book, though.
If you need to write encryption applications, or, want to understand how encryption works, see the math, algorithms, source code so you can analyze in your favourite debugger, then this book is for you. Schneier is a master of Cryptography and doesn't disappoint. Apr 23, 2009Jeremy Brooks rated it it was amazing
However, be aware that a certain level of understanding is required to navigate through the content. Happy computing!
Recommends it for: software engineers, developers, technology people
If you want to understand or work with cryptography, this is The Book to read. The concepts are presented clearly and the examples are easy to understand.
This is a good introduction to cryptography, and a good reference work as well. You will use this book over and over again.
He deliberately wrote this around the same time as 'The Handbook of Applied Cryptography', the seminal work that redefined cryptonalysis, with a manipulative title. It's more of a high level, 'here's what a cypher is' description, rather than an actual course in algorithm design or C code.
Contains both an excellent introduction to information security and the cryptographic problem as well as detailing implementations for many algorithms. Includes a section on real world case studies, but given the book's age, those should be taken with a grain of salt and a heavy dose of research.
Nov 14, 2008Robert rated it it was amazing
This is THE cryptography book to study/read/consume..
If you are involved with cryptography in any way and haven't read this book then you are really missing out (as well as acting foolishly). This is a must read!
Oct 18, 2008Kenneth Finnegan rated it really liked it · review of another edition
This book badly suffers from being more than 10 years old in a field that is such a moving target. Only reason not a 5. I'd hope for a third edition, but this book will always be out of date by the time it goes to press.
Jul 14, 2015Freddie Barr-Smith rated it really liked it
Elegant explanations of cryptographic protocols but too dated to be of much practical use now.
A seminal work and useful reference when writing secure code.
Mar 29, 2012Michael Brady rated it really liked it
I won't pretend I understood any of the math, but the historical and conceptual details were excellent.
this book is like an encyclopedia of cryptography
the bible of cryptography :)
along with the handbook of applied cryptography i think Applied Cryptography Bruce Schneier
Sep 21, 2011Peter Voorhees rated it it was amazing
I was very impressed with how approachable Mr. Schneier makes cryptographic operations and protocols. This book is HIGHLY useful for understanding the fundamentals of all the described protocols.
