Hello Mike,

You can read Cryptography from Shon Harris AIO & Official Book. They are 
very well explained.

You can also read following books.

Handbook of Applied Cryptography (Free Online Version with copyright 
permission from CRC Press)
http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/ <
http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/> 

One more great resource here -

Hope it helps.

??? Does anyone have (or know where I can get) a good study guide to use 
for cryptography?

I have a few questions that are in the "gray area" of things.  I have the 
answers (maybe) but want to know what the group thinks.

Using ISC(2) preambles as guides, answers these questions:

1) A visiting professor is assigned to work in a university computing 
center.  He found a hole in a financial transaction program that would 
enable one to collect students' social security numbers, last names, and 
other personally identifiable information.  He quietly collected the 
information into a computer file and gave the file to the system 
administrator on his last day. 
a) The professor was unethical.  He should have disclosed the hole right 
away.
b) There is nothing unethical with what he did.  He did not give the 
information to anyone else.
c) Though he did nothing unethical, the professor should have disclosed 
the information because ISC(2) preambles stated responsibility to the 
public first.
d) None of the above.  ISC(2) ethics were observed.

2) An analyst for an anti-virus software company is assigned to test a new 
product.  He developed an automated program to generate multiple instances 
of a computer virus with varying signatures. He wants to use it to test 
the new anti-virus software the company is going to publish.
a) He should not use it.  It is illegal to create virus.
b) There is nothing wrong with using it since it is contained in a test 
lab and would never get out to the Internet.
c) It is unethical to develop something that would potentially harm the 
public.
d) It is part of his job.  It is completely ethical.
