I would also suggest applied Cryptography. It is a very good intro
book which covers a lot of ground work. I would also implour you to
read online papers. They are free and in abundance. You can get some
papers from my site at
http://mypage.goplay.com/tomstdenis/block.html
It's good to know what modern block ciphers/stream ciphers look like
and what they do. It will help you out quite a bit. It will also get
you some exposure to how block ciphers become secure and what tricks
they use.
I have about 20 or so papers on my site (they are not mine) so it might
be a good place to start. I would also look up John Savards page
(quadibloc) and Terry Ritters page (he has a wickedly cool glossary).
You can track down their posts and get their websites from their sigs...
