Some interesting parts but wasn’t entirely about what I thought it would be about. A physical copy would’ve made some info/examples easier to understand.

Pretty good introduction - covers some of the neat historical background whilst still finding time for modern applications.
It would have been nice if it had covered the use of salts in hash functions though, and perhaps gone into slightly more detail on asymmetric encryption algorithms (as one is left feeling they are somewhat magical).
But it does very well for it's length!
