Learning Encryption - Fourth Element - 10-20-2012

Dear friends,

I am a software engineering student and interested about learning Encryption, which we didn't learn. I am interested about encrypting, decrypting an encrypted message and other tasks related with encryption. From where I can find a good tutorial? Most google results are about "what is encryption" notes! Please help!!

It all depends on which type of encyption you want to learn about MD5 SHA etc.

What do you want to do? Learn the theory? Use cryptographic software? Write cryptographic software? Crack ciphers and hashes? Those things are pretty different from each other.

wow. Thanks for the replies, it shows the cryptography is a subject in wide range! OK, I have no idea actually, but I like to learn all you mentioned including cracks!!!! Great! (But I don't like to use software for cracks). In java we did java cryptography but it was a small session and specific to java so we didn't understand much about overall cryptography.

So, let's learn theories first, isn't it?
Then, creating encrypted data
reading encrypted data
then of course cracks
writing crypto software

One of my friends had an assigment from his university and that was to "decrypt the secret message". The message contained numbers only. The teacher has asked them to read about RSA. Whatever, I need to know how to create such messages and read them (rather than simply converting ascii to hexa format or something).

The first post here has mentioned about 2 encryption systems, but I am sorry I haven't selected any system. Whatever you recommend me to do first, I will do first. My programming knowledge is basically in Java and it is in pretty advance level if it helps. I know C++ and android as well, but it is in "Learning State" yet. Please help, I really wanna learn this thing.

OK did a bit of digging around and came up with this https://www.dropbox.com/s/dd0vilsyx2gxhof/crypto.pdf it's a basic intro into cryptography, should help you get started at least

There is a fun book about cryptography, it is not all about computes but it is called codes. It is a great read.
