#2There is also a cryptography course from Udacity: https://www.udacity.com/course/applied-cryptography--cs387

#3A resource I found really helpful was a fantastic classroom-setting lecture series Introduction to Cryptography by Christof Paar[0] .

#4Cool, thanks!
BTW why is EPUB mentioned but not available?

#5I read the book, it is well written, accessible and pretty accurate. I think it's worth a skim even just to learn more about something you vaguely know but you can't explain in your own words.

Seconded, I am working my way through this course and its fantastic, specially if you also do all the homework problems.

#7+1 for the fact that the "get book" button on linked site just downloads the pdf.

#8Started reading it, pretty good so far!
Only thing, why did you choose to introduce block cipher modes in the stream cipher chapter? This makes little sense to me.

Chapter 6 is block ciphers, Chapter 7 is stream ciphers.
Also, the first lines in chapter 7: Let’s try to build a stream cipher using the tools we already have. Since we already have block ciphers, we could simply divide an incoming stream into different blocks, and encrypt each block...

(I'm the author.)
Because it's not a priority for me and I never got the org -> epub generation flow working correctly. In particular, the book has a lot of illustrations, and getting illustrations right across a ton of ebook readers is quite complicated. To wit: they all support different formats and to get it more or less compatible you have to guess what the approx DPI is for most of those devices and then rasterize the vector imagery.
If someone gets it to work I'd be much obliged, it just hasn't been a priority for me :)
