Books about cryptography

rabbitinspace

So, I'm looking for a good books about cryptography because I want to make my own password manager. There are no better places to ask about that than 1Password forum :) Maybe you can tell me a couple of such books or resources?

Hi @rabbitinspace,

Cryptography is a very exciting subject (to me, at least). But before you dive into making your own password manager you may wish to read this post by our Chief Defender Against the Dark Arts, Jeff Goldberg:

AgileBits Blog | Don’t trust a password management system you design yourself!

That said, one of our developers recommended this link:

Translucent Databases | wayner.org

I hope that helps. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.

@Ben thanks for response and good links!
My goal isn't to make a pm for storing my passwords (I prefer 1Password for that)
I just want to learn more about cryptography and some best practices of how to encrypt user data.

Again, thanks for the links!
