A list of key readings about Block cipher.
Please sort and annotate in a user-friendly manner. For formatting, consider using automated reference wikification.

Few books deal with block ciphers exclusively, but almost any text on cryptography has a major section devoted to block ciphers. See our cryptography bibliography for additional sources.

Standard references

Two books are very widely used as references. Both are now somewhat dated, having been published before the AES competition so they do not include that generation of ciphers.

  • Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C by Bruce Schneier, widely used by programmers home page
  • Handbook of Applied Cryptography by A. J. Menezes, P. C. van Oorschot, and S. A. Vanstone, with more of the math and theory than Schneier PDF download
