Few books deal with block ciphers exclusively, but almost any text on cryptography has a major section devoted to block ciphers. See our cryptography bibliography for additional sources.
Standard references
Two books are very widely used as references. Both are now somewhat dated, having been published before the AES competition so they do not include that generation of ciphers.
- Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C by Bruce Schneier, widely used by programmers home page
- Handbook of Applied Cryptography by A. J. Menezes, P. C. van Oorschot, and S. A. Vanstone, with more of the math and theory than Schneier PDF download
University level texts
- Cryptography Theory and Practice by Doug Stinson, CRC Press 2005, ISBN 9781584885085, home page
- Introduction to Modern Cryptography by Phillip Rogaway and Mihir Bellare, a mathematical introduction to theoretical cryptography including reduction-based security proofs. PDF download.
