- Another way is to ftp it from our archive, HOWEVER WAIT FOR SEVERAL DAYS!
- We just had the internal disk go bad and we're still waiting for that
- "overnight" delivery to arrive! But, by Wednesday or Thursday, Jan 14,
- ftp to csrc.ncsl.nist.gov (129.6.54.11), user anonymous, and cd to
- pub/nistpubs, and get 800-2.txt. Sorry, no .ps available. I'll second
- the recommendation for this text - it is a very good introduction to
- cryptography and has enough math to really get you started. And, it's
- free!
