Good introduction but I expect more

Good introduction and explanation of cryptography, great for begineers, great view of Java. Specially chapters from 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9. The rest is sometimes poor, sometimes obsolete. It's a good job, but since 1998 a lot of things came to this area. Maybe a second edition will be a good idea. For provider architecture I prefer Scott Oaks' Java Security. I miss some explanation of cryptography. But the explanations included are very clear. I agree the average from the rest of the reviews and I think 3 stars is the deserved rate for this book.
