Cryptography public key-private key books ?

For a general understanding of cryptography, I learned from Bruce
Schneier's "Applied Cryptography".  That provided enough basic
background information to get me by for a number of years.  Recently
I'm having to understand more of the details, and I'm reading Eric
Rescorla's "SSL and TLS: Designing and Building Secure Systems" to
learn about the SSL protocol, and the O'Reilly book "Network Security
with OpenSSL" to learn about the OpenSSL library and its API.

Thanks for the list of books. O'Reilly only lists the last of the three you mentioned so I will look for the other two elsewhere online.
