The Joy of Cryptography

This looks excellent. I tried to go through the Introduction to Cryptography by Christof Paar [1] and that material was not really suitable for me, personally. I found it too dense, and written in not very interesting manner.

Thank you for posting this book, I'll give it a go! Crypto is one of those things I have on my shameful "how-come-you-don't-know-it-yet" to-learn list :).

Really? The book might not be suitable to read it from cover to cover in bed, but still approachable. The videos are also really nice and easy going (I took the lecture at his uni, nice foundation).

Compared to this book you seem right, the glimps I had was easily digestable and still concise.
