I really suggest that you try to get a copy of Bruce Schneier's "Applied Cryptography". It is using examples that are easy to understand without missing the necessary depth. There's also a German translation of the book available, see http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3893198547/ However I don't know how good the translation is. Reading the original might be more fun, and will probably help you improve your English at the same time. Alex -- "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
