I can point you at Bruce Schneier's book, Applied Cryptography: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471117099/qid=1129643113/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-0263158-8696136?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 My second choice would be the Handbook of Applied Cryptography (http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/), chapter 7, which does say a little bit but isn't quite as in-depth as Schneier's book.
