Need some helpful links to learn

What is the best place to learn general cryptography knowledge?

This is an AMAZING website for learning anything and everything about hacking.

can we go gmail style and could i get a link?

His whole post was a link.

lmfao, just google it

Lmfao, or you could answer his question.

I'd have to say that I think that Schneier's book "Applied Cryptography" is a pretty decent read from the little bit that I understood of it. Crypto isn't any kind of expertise for me though, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Seems like that book (above, by Schneier) I mentioned is cited more than any other crypto. resource that I've come across in articles and publications referring to cryptography, so take that at least as a more accurate measure of its value.

laughing at faaz btw
and the first thing you usually get is google it.
and since sanddbox skipped that with a great answer
i figured i would just help out

Yeah my apologies for sounding rude there, moneygreen.

Going off of what others have said I caught a glimpse of gary kessler's site on the first page of a google for cryptography and this looks pretty decent as well:

Also, you could do what I had to do for school and get a subscription to something like Safari books online where you can read books online for much less than it would cost to buy them. It's good for people who don't have a decent library to go to with many computer books (e.g. me for one). I remember that they had some good books on cryptographic programming there.

I read part of that book (not much though). From what I saw, its quite well written. It certainly gives a good intro to crypto. It is a big book though, and thats probably why I didn't finish it. I've seen other smaller books that are good introductions to crypto, but I don't remember their titles at the moment.

Maybe you guys didn't notice that my entire post was a link to let me google it for you.

Sadly, faaz was the only one who noticed :/
