Cryptography, An Introduction : Third Edition

The third edition is now online.

We give a numbering system to present versions.

The first number presents the edition number
The second number represents a correction which is major, i.e. something absolutely crucial has been corrected.
The third number represents a minor change, e.g. small addition etc.
The fourth number represents a very minor correction (spelling etc).

The current number is 3.0.0.6 : book.ps and book.ps.gz.
