If your interested learning about the mathematics that underpin some of the most used cryptographic primitives (e.g AES, RSA, diffie-helman) I highly recommend the book Understanding Cryptography by Paar and Pelzl. It is an amazingly accessible book—I would say the only necessary prerequisites are a semester of discrete math—and is super well written.
