Summary: Surprised that the reviews are posted just to confuse
Comment: I am looking at the previous reviews and am really surprised that the book has been published in Aug 2002 (just recently) and the earlier reviews show that they were posted in year 2000 and 2001. It is just confusing the readers because they are not the real reviews. I have not gone through the book, so I don't know how good or bad it is, but at least I know that the reviews are not real. If the reviews are for the earlier editions, then they should be posted under those editions, which anyway have a different ISBN number. Really disappointed.
Unfortunately, I have to put some rating for the book, as in the submission form it is a mandatory field. Hence, I have to put some rating for my submission to go through. I am just putting an average rating, but please ignore my evaluation, as I have not even seen the book.

Summary: A course oriented book
Comment: One of the better books in Security, concentrating on algorithms, rather than stopping at attack descriptions. Very detailed coverage of converntional and public-key encryption. I recommend this book to anyone interested in Security and has some knowledge on algorithms.

Rating: 5
Summary: good book
Comment: (this book is good: you can take the encryption algorithms, which are presented in their entirety, and produce practical software. half of the book is dedicated to both symmetric block and public key style encryption.)

I'm just tired of all these reviews which go something like this: "This book is good for people wanting an overview but for a real presentation of the topic look to " I mean this is a fine point to make regarding books like Quantum Physics in 21 days or DOS for Dummies, but for every book out there, there's a more complicated one, and a zillion people looking to assert their superiority regarding the subject matter.
