[Noisebridge-discuss] Crypto learning night?

[steen]

This seems an opportune time to mention that I just picked up a copy of 
The Code Book by Simon Singh for the noisebridge library. It's an 
excellent introduction to all levels of crypto, starting out with the 
Caesar cypher and working up to RSA, and I highly recommend it to anyone 
who is into historical and theoretical cryptography.

(if anyone feels like contributing a copy of Between Silk And Cyanide 
that'd be awesome too ;> )

That said, I would love to blow on the crypto bubble pipe.
