Sumit, I am neither a mathematician nor a cryptographer, but my favorite book so far is the following: Richard A. Mollin, An Introduction to Cryptography (New York: Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2001). It is part of a series on discrete mathematics.

Hello Everyone, To get a good understanding of Crypto a thorough understanding of the Mathematical Concepts behind it would be necessary. Are there any good documents/books (preferably online) that people here would like to recommend for this. I am not looking for books on Crypto, but specifically books on Mathematics which might have the required information.
