Hello!

[rhapsodyinblu]

Hi everyone! My name's Blu ("Blue"), and I'm a math student. I'm trying to apply for a summer job involving cryptography. Problem is, I don't know too much about it... but I have a feeling that most of the other applicants will not be too far ahead of me, since it's a student program. I'd like to get some basic knowledge of the subject, and I was wondering if any of you had a book or two you could recommend. I'm at a pretty big school, so availability shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks so much!
