Applied Cryptography is Banned in Oregon Prisons
My Applied Cryptography is on a list of books banned in Oregon prisons. It’s not me—and it’s not cryptography—it’s that the prisons ban books that teach people to code. The subtitle is “Algorithms, Protocols, and Source Code in C”—and that’s the reason.
My more recent Cryptography Engineering is a much better book for prisoners, anyway.
