It’s curious how in off-topic section we have a music, films and games, but not book section!!

One friend recommend me this book, “Criptonomicon”, and i read it. The English version have 900 pages and all are about the WW2, Enigma, cryptography and more stuff. I highly recommend this book and I wonder if anyone have already read it.

Hi, thank you for sharing, I did not know this one.

“The Code Book, The Secret History of Codes and Code Breaking” by Simon Singh is rather cool with these ten coded messages for readers to crack, and is translated into several languages.

Obviously it is not really… a novel ;-)

I will take a look to that book, thank you.

Criptonomicon is a novel too, so there are few real characters (like Turing) and others who are invented.

The Code Book is really cool. I didn’t read the Criptonomicon, but I’ll take a look at it.

@Elian

I have just finished to read The Code Book by Simon Singh, the book you recommended me.
The part i liked the most was the quantum computers and how that are related into cryptography. If the book was written in 1999, i can’t imagine what the NSA or CIA has been developing until today…

What other books have you guys read?

In crypto I can recommend two other books: Cryptography Engineering of Bruce Schneier, Niels Ferguson and Tadayoshi Kohno, and Introduction to Modern Cryptography of Yehuda Lindell and Jonathan Katz. Those books are really good and will give you a lot of knowledge in modern cryptography, which is the topic that is lacking in The Code Book.

I can recommend one other book as well: An Introduction to Mathematical Cryptography / Edition 2 by Jeffrey Hoffstein, Jill Pipher, and Joseph H. Silverman.

There’s no place like 127.0.0.1
