Encryption resources

[jayshah]

I'm looking for websites that have information on how encryption works, specifically, the stuff in RC5-64. I need details on the algorithms used, reasons why brute force approaches take a long time to crack, some details on how quantum computers can break encryption faster than regular computers. Also a quick overview of other encryption algorithms, and common applictions or tools that support encryption.

These ought to keep you busy for a while.

The book Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier is also a GREAT resource. He is afterall the author of atleast 2 great encryption algorithms
