I successfully ended the book Elementary Number Theory by David M. Burton. It is a great book on Number Theory and History of Number Theory. Specially, I loved the concise chapter on Cryptography. Now, I am pretty interested to continue my study in Cryptography. Which books or websites should I read to learn more on Cryptography, if there is more math of it?

0@Paŭlo: My main aim of asking this question is not to get a list of some books, but actually some references that I could proceed my learnings. Prof. Burton had already given a list of some good reference texts in book's appendices. – 2011-10-11

Cryptography is a rapidly changing subject at its frontier. However, though it dates from 1997 the Handbook of Applied Cryptography by A. Menezes, P. van Oorschot, and S. Vanstone, has nice surveys of many topics related to cryptography.

Introduction to Modern Cryptography by J.Katz and Y.Lindell (CRC Press) is a nice book to start formal cryptography. For a more advanced reader, Foundations of Cryptography by Oded Goldreich can be handy.
