Books

This page lists books related to cryptography and computer security (sorted alphabetically by title name). You can find other sources here. 

Since machine learning techniques have promising applications in cryptography (e.g. the work of Aron Gohr on the cryptanalysis of Speck), I also include books related to machine learning.
