Actually Applied Cryptography should give you the false feeling of security which will undoubtedly bite you in the ass when your system is tested in a real-world security environment.

It's not that the information is bad. It's not, the book is excellent. It's just that so many people are completely incapable of judging their own competence and will make stupid newbie mistakes even when they are guided by the most excellent of resources and advice.

Go ahead and read Applied Cryptography. Go ahead and implement your application. But don't think for a second that you're smart. Don't think that your app doesn't have a million holes in it. It does, and it will go down when right at the worst moment.

However, none of this should stop you from trying to be better. It's just the nature of the game that you have decided to play.
