Hi,

You should already know most of the math you need to know from your math major. It helps to know number theory, group theory, and algebraic curves, depending on what you do. Important knowledge is also discrete mathematics: Discrete probability theory, Markov chains, graph theory, logic, proof methods, solving recurrences, etc. are all helpful tools.

In terms of computer science, it's imperative to know how to program. You can learn a programming language such as Python. Project Euler is a good place to start for a mathematician. Knowledge of algorithms is also important, and you must understand computability and complexity theory.

Stanford's Cryptography I is a good place to start learning cryptography. I think you can go ahead and start the course without attempting prerequisites and see where you get stuck to go and learn what is required of you.

Not sure when you were born but I'm reading Crypto by Steven Levy right now. Great read. Gives a really good history of the (American) guys that came up with public key encryption and it's distribution to the masses along with all the tension between the NSA and the Government over its development. Once you read it you will realize that we truly are in Cryptowars 2.0 right now. The same exact arguments used back then are being used now.

If you want a taste of his writing style this is a good read - http://www.wired.com/1999/04/crypto/

Here's the book by him - http://www.amazon.com/Crypto-Rebels-Government-Privacy-Digital/dp/0140244328

"The Code Book" by Simon Singh was what got me into crypto at an early age and now I'm work in a field where I'm hands on with crypto algorithms and equipment on a nearly daily basis.
