Practical Cryptography

Errata to Practical Cryptography

Niels Ferguson

Abstract

All books contain errors. Practical Cryptography is no exception. This document is a complete list of all the errors we know of. We will regularly update this document. You can always find the latest version on this web page.

To make this list easier to use we classify the errors into three categories:

• Misleading errors. Errors that mislead the reader even when taken in the context of all the other information in the book. This is obviously the most serious type of error.
• Confusing errors. Errors that confuse the reader, but that are identifiable as errors from the context of all the other information in the book.
• Minor errors. Errors that are obviously errors, and which do not confuse the reader as to the intended meaning.

If you find any more errors in Practical Cryptography or in this list, please let me know at practical-cryptography@macfergus.com.
