Applied Cryptography is terrible. https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2013/07/22/applied-practical-cry... No Starch's "Serious Cryptography", the JP Aumasson book, is strong.
No, Applied Cryptography isn’t “terrible”, but treat it as a starting point. It will help you understand more advanced references (like the linked blog post).
+1 for the fact that the "get book" button on linked site just downloads the pdf .
Thanks, for the comment. I wouldn't have bothered with this otherwise. Normally a "Download our PDF|Whitepaper|Whatever" is a 100% sure way to make me close a site immediately nowadays - and this is what I did. Just stumbled upon your comment because the tab was still open and it was the first comment. VirusTotal seems to be cool with the file too, so that's how it should be. https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/fe42077…
I don't know what I was doing clicking on it to begin with, usually a surefire way to get a fresh copy of MacKeeper or something

You can get the org mode plaintext source here: https://github.com/crypto101/book . It doesn't read as well as the PDF because there's a ton of illustrations and _something_ has to render them.

would a description of Noise be in scope? Yessss! Utterly selfishly: things like 'Noise Protocol Matrix' or 'Nonce misuse resistance 101' are actually closer to your target than XOR diagrams that people can already find on wikipedia.
I don’t know if you picked those judiciously or if I did but those are two blog posts I did actually write :)
