Recommended Reading
========================================
It's a very good idea if you have some knowledge of cryptography
*before* trying to use the library. This is an area where it is very
easy to make mistakes, and where things are often subtle and/or
counterintuitive. Obviously the library tries to provide things at a
high level precisely to minimize the number of ways things can go
wrong, but naive use will almost certainly not result in a secure
system.
Especially recommended are:
- *Cryptography Engineering*
by Niels Ferguson, Bruce Schneier, and Tadayoshi Kohno
- *Security Engineering -- A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems*
by Ross Anderson
- *Handbook of Applied Cryptography*
by Alfred J. Menezes, Paul C. Van Oorschot, and Scott A. Vanstone
