Ask HN: What are the best books, articles, papers on crypto and cryptography?

"The code book" is a good introduction to history and basics

"Elliptic Curves: Number Theory and Cryptography" is a great, and detailed, text for understanding ECC

https://cryptopals.com/ <-- Awesome resource for getting started with crypt-analysis solutions

What's crypto vs cryptography? Also, do you want... learn theory, learn practice, learn implementation...? Any specific focus?

I suppose more so crypto currency value cryptography. If you have references for all mentioned,that would be great.
