Manual of Cryptography (Cryptographic Series)

Translated from the original Manuale di Crittografia, this is a classic text concerning cryptography and cryptanalysis. For the mathematically inclined, the text contains cryptographic equations pertaining to "disks" used in enciphering, "cipher drums," and algebraic or polygraphic enciphering. One chapter discusses cryptanalysis of code systems, including the analysis of enciphered code systems. Another chapter discusses cryptanalysis of cipher machines. An excellent book for the advanced student.
