A Course in Number Theory and Cryptography - Neal Koblitz. An algorithmic approach that covers basic arithmetic topics all the way to elliptic curves.

Algebraic Aspects of Cryptography - Neal Koblitz. A textbook for a course, or self-instruction, in cryptography with emphasis on algebraic methods.

An Introduction to Cryptography - Richard A. Mollin. Intended for a one-semester introductory undergraduate course in cryptography. Covers symmetric and public key systems with chapters on advanced topics.

Applied Cryptography - Bruce Schneier. A comprehensive tutorial and reference but a little light on mathematical theory.

Codes and Ciphers - Robert Churchhouse. Describes and analyses systems from the earliest to the most recent.

Coding Theory and Cryptography - David Joyner, editor. Proceedings of the 'Conference on Coding Theory, Cryptography, and Number Theory' held at the U.S. Naval Academy during October 25-26, 1998

Contemporary Cryptology - Gustavus J. Simmons. Subtitled "The Science of Information Integrity". Has emphasis on the cryptographic elements of the subject.

Cryptography and E-Commerce - Jon C. Graff. Geared to nontechnical managers who want to explore the underlying concepts of this topic.

Cryptography book recommendations - Cryptography book reviews, links to online erratas, and free book downloads. Most books have charts that recommend prerequisite books, mathematics and programming language experience.

Cryptography for Visual Basic - Richard Bondi. Subtitled "A Programmer's Guide to the Microsoft CryptoAPI" which describes what the book is about.

Cryptography Theory and Practice - Douglas Stinson. Subtitled "Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications". Written with more emphasis on theory than practice, as acknowledged in the preface.

Decrypted Secrets - Friedrich L. Bauer. Subtitled "Methods and Maxims of Cryptology". Covers both cryptography and cryptanalysis.

Elementary Cryptanalysis - Abraham Sinkov. An older book (1966) that covers the mathematical side of elementary cryptography. Published by 'The Mathematical Association of America'.

Foundations of Cryptography - Oded Goldreich. Focuses on the basic mathematical tools needed for cryptographic design: computational difficulty (one-way functions), pseudorandomness and zero-knowledge proofs.

Handbook of Applied Cryptography - The online version of the 1996 CRC book by Menezes, van Oorschot and Vanstone.

In Code - Sarah Flannery's supplement to her book "In Code", describing her Cayley-Purser algorithm.

Primality and Cryptography - Evangelos Kranakis. A comprehensive account of recent algorithms developed in computational number theory and primality testing.

RSA Security's Official Guide to Cryptography - Burnett and Paine. Explains the differences between symmetric-key and public-key cryptography, how PKI and X.509 affect security and how the RSA algorithm works within protocols.

Security Engineering - Author describes book in his own words. He explains how "pure" cryptography is not quite so pure when expressed in the context of real world applications.

The Code Book - Simon Singh. Traces the development of codes and code-breaking from military espionage in ancient Greece to modern computer ciphers.

The Interactive Cryptography Tutorial - Online tutorial with useful info and links.

The Mathematics of Ciphers - S.C. Coutinho. An introduction to number theory and its applications to cryptography. A revised and updated translation from original in Portuguese.

The Twofish Encryption Algorithm - Schneier, et al. Covers design, performance, instructions and source code in C.
