Why I’m Writing a Book on Cryptography
> In particular, the long introductions that would start with history.<p>I can feel this. I studied cryptography at University. There was a lot of great things studied, but the first several weeks were a discussion Enigma, the war, and a life story of Alan Turing. Throw in a lesson about ancient Rome and the use of a Ceasar cipher and I was pretty bored of the course before we did any real work.<p>I'll be buying this book.
