Real-world Cryptography - -bookrar- ((hot)) -

A. Cipher, L. Merkle

The book is packed with practical code snippets (mostly in JavaScript and Python). It shows you how to use cryptographic libraries correctly. This is crucial because the history of security breaches is largely a history of developers implementing algorithms wrong, not the algorithms themselves being broken.
