Now I threw this into google, and the first item was:
Learn Encryption Techniques with BASIC and C++ (Paperback)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1556225989/102-6699195-0993716?v=glance

Now, webmonkey have a tutorial on how to use various types of encryption
with PHP here:
http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/programming/php/tutorials/tutorial1.html

The RSA Crypto FAQ expains in depth the various cryptographic algorithms
in use today: http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2152
