    Hi!
    I would recommend you the "Handbook of applied cryptography".It is
    considered as an encyclopedia of cryptography and it's for free!
    During my MSc it helped me a lot with the crytpography course.

    Does anyone have any good recommendations for books on Cryptography
    especially geared towards beginners? I have a few titles in mind
    already, I just don't want to leave out any good one's if I can help it.
    Thanks

    Murad, et al...

    Your best investment comes from New Riders publishing. They have a
    series of books focused on security mostly from and or by/overseen
    Stephen Northcutt. Network Intrusion Detection will teach you all about
    reading "the wire". Intrusion Signatures and Analysis will help you
    learn more and Network Perimeter Security is a good primer...

    Lots of luck.

    Back when you were a security nipper playing with netstat and gurgling =
    at the sight of portscans on your fisher price server, which book did =
    you use to learn security basics from? I've inherited a 50 node network
    and am just getting into learning how = to secure it. Any suggestions
    gratefully accepted. Murad
