Description : This isn't actually a book, but rather a very book-like set of lecture notes (it appears that the authors intend to publish it as a book at some point) by noted cryptographers Goldwasser and Bellare that is available online. Applied Cryptography (above) is nice for people interested in using cryptographic techniques, but this is a great place to look if you are interested in cryptography from a research perspective. It is a good introduction to how modern cryptography is placed on a rigorous mathematical foundation of complexity theory. I've only read parts of it. The parts I've read have been right at the edge of my mathematical abilities (as a senior undergraduate) and maybe even a bit intimidating at first, but well worth the effort.
