Cryptology is an academic discipline which has implications
for the security of life and property, and thus there is a vast
literature on the subject, often highly technical in nature. Much
of the research is secret and unpublished. The following are just
a few of the many books and journal articles available. The
history of codes and code-breaking is especially interesting. The
best book on this subject is David Kahn's The Codebreakers (the
bound edition is recommended). Among the following works those
marked with an asterisk are more historical than technical and
tend to be somewhat easier reading. Those marked "#"
contain commentary on some contemporary political aspects of the
civilian use of cryptography.
