    Hi all,

    I'm really interested in the field of cryptanalysis, but am not really
    familiar with cryptography. The texts I have read have explained what
    cryptography is, but havent really given me an example of implementing it in
    real life(ie: encrypting a unix file system with aes(just an example)). If
    there are any books/online texts you can refer me to please do so. Also,
    what guides/books do you recommend I should take a look at on the subject of
    Cryptanalysis? My goal is to some-day become a cryptanalist for the NSA.
    Sounds cheasy but from what I know about cryptology, facinates me.
    Thanks in advance, any response will be much appreciated.
