Next steps
- [Jeremy] Thanks for joining me for these first few steps into the field of cryptography. If you're interested in going a little bit deeper, I'd like to give you a few suggestions. First, this is the book, Applied Cryptography, by Bruce Schneier. This was my first crypto book in grad school. It's a little dated, but it's really still solid on the fundamentals. For a slightly newer, but still good book, that's now available for free online, Nigel Smart's Cryptography, An Introduction, is a really good option. And third, from the Sands Group at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, there's a bunch of interesting ways of visualizing various historical and modern crypto systems. I highly recommend it. Thanks.
