Quoting Damian Gerow (damian@xxxxxxxxxx): <snip some> > Does anyone have a link (or a document they can post on the web) that points > to the basics of encryption? <snip some more> Hi! Besides "Applied Cryptography", check out "The handbook of applied cryptography" which can be found completely online under http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/. Things like ecb,cbc, block ciphers, hash functions, etc are explained in depth. A good starting point is also the FAQ of RSA (found at http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/faq/index.html).
