Cryptography Theory and Practice is a great book for those who want a formalized
and mathematically rigorous approach to cryptography. It covers the usual
stuff: classic ciphers, popular symmetric/asymmetric key algorithms, signature schemes,
hash functions, key distribution, authentication codes, secret sharing, pseudo-random
number generation, and zero-knowledge proofs. Assumes that you have had some exposure
to set theory and linear algebra, but still readable.
