Excellent book guys. I know that a huge amount of effort went into it. Have just finished reading the whole thing.

On page 13, in the last paragraph, it says "The goal of cryptography is to take a piece of information, often referred to as plaintext, and, using a process or algorithm, also referred to as a key or cipher....."

I think that could be a bit confusing, as the key and cipher are usually two separate entities.

Also, on page 600, under "key", it says "A process or algorithm used to transform plaintext into encrypted text: also referred to as a cipher"
