We just had the internal disk go bad and we're still waiting for that "overnight" delivery to arrive! But, by Wednesday or Thursday, Jan 14, ftp to csrc.ncsl.nist.gov (129.6.54.11), user anonymous, and cd to pub/nistpubs, and get 800-2.txt. Sorry, no .ps available. I'll second the recommendation for this text - it is a very good introduction to cryptography and has enough math to really get you started. And, it's free! -John Wack
