Thanks Tony. I know the book. But except chapter 4, it is more about blockchain and bitcoin rather than cryptography.

ah ok. I don't really have any good cryptography book recommendations but I am also interested in the answer to this question. I just figured Chapter 5 would help with the HD wallet part of your project :)

<p>I am trying to write a multiple currency hd wallet.
I am using javascript libraries but I feel unsafe as I am new to most cryptography concepts and terms like elliptic curve, seeds, entropy etc.</p>

<p>I can not be a cryptography expert but I want to learn terms and concepts at least to know what it is doing when I am using third party libraries.</p>

<p>Can you recommend any books or online resources? </p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-01-27)

I am trying to write a multiple currency hd wallet.
I am using javascript libraries but I feel unsafe as I am new to most cryptography concepts and terms like elliptic curve, seeds, entropy etc.

I can not be a cryptography expert but I want to learn terms and concepts at least to know what it is doing when I am using third party libraries.

Can you recommend any books or online resources?
