Thanks!

This is definitely in the same space as CE. When I just started writing this, tptacek wrote: http://sockpuppet.org/blog/2013/07/22/applied-practical-cryp...

... and that was a huge motivator and inspiration to me. So:

1. (Unlike Applied Cryptography) focus on things that you are actually likely to hit in the wild

2. (Unlike Cryptography Engineering) Written today, and hopefully perpetually updated; including things like ECC, all sorts of CBC attacks, et cetera.

3. (Unlike either) Free of charge, and freely redistributable :)




About #3, have you considered hosting a git repo with your (presumably LaTeX) source so that others can contribute?


Yeah; there's a link somewhere in the "Development" section. It's org-mode, though: https://github.com/crypto101/book

Everything about this project (except the TLS keys) is on Github.
