So I'm ashamed to admit it, but I know virtually nothing about security/crypto/any of that stuff. As my programming skills get better, this is starting to bother me more. So my question for all of you "in the know" is: Where/how should I learn about this stuff? I'm good with computers in general, and I have a math background that covers modula and stuff like that. I have no problem following the security chapters in "Programming Perl." I guess I'm reasonably equipped to learn, but just wanted to know what everyone's advice is in terms of best method. Good books? Tutorials? Websites? If it matters in anyone's recommendation, I use FreeBSD on my personal machine, and I program a little in Python, a little better in Perl and Java and pretty well in C variants and html/xml/javascript. I even know some Pascal and Lisp. So anyway, I'm at least reasonably competent and would appreciate your advice and reccomendations for a security newbie. I couldn't find any nodes dealing with this question, but if one exists please accept my apology and point the way. Thanks Monks!
