Along the same lines, I just picked up "Cryptography, Theory and
Practice" by Douglas R. Stinson (CRC Press, 1995). It seems to be
very comprehensive but lacks the readability of Schneier. This is
definitely not a beginner's book, but it would be useful to someone
seeking greater insight into the math behind crypto.
