Beginning Cryptography with Java Review by Benjamin Golding
Great book by an expert on the subject
By anyone's measure, cryptography is a dry and dusty subject but Hook has made it a pleasure to read this book both by trying to keep the tone light and having such a deep and thorough understanding of the topic that the discussion is effortless. While he moves through the subject matter briskly, his mastery of the area means that it's elegantly structured and easy to follow.
All the Wrox books seem to follow a pretty rigid format and I felt sometimes that had the author been given a little more flexibility there, it could have flowed more easily. That said, the consistent organisation of the book makes it easier to use as a reference.
