I try to keep my resume to myself unless absolutely necessary because a) recruiters b) arguments to authority are damaging, but Crypto 101[0] is probably the most interesting public one. Other than that, being one of the founders and the resident cryptographer of PyCA and Latacora, also caesium and magicnonce specifically.

- cipher0 10y ago>> arguments to authority are damaging Yet that's what you were doing in the first place when you said "I am a cryptographer", hence my interest. And it looks like our definitions of what a cryptographer is are different, yours appears to be more like "Software engineer with some knowledge of crypto" in which case, you shouldn't refer to yourself as a "cryptographer" the same way a dentist with some knowledge of general surgery shouldn't refer to him/herself as a "surgeon". edit: typo.
- tptacek 10y agoYou are way out of line. LVH has formal postgrad academic cryptography training, in addition to being in fact a practicing cryptographer. He said he didn't want to talk about his resume. That's a reasonable response, and you don't have the right to insult him because he wasn't responsive enough to your inquiry. Further: I respect the need some people have for anonymity here, but I have a real problem when anonymous commenters cast these kinds of aspersions on people who actually sign their name to what they write.
- cipher0 10y ago> formal postgrad academic cryptography training Could you clarify exactly what that means? > in addition to being in fact a practicing cryptographer. Could you clarify exactly what that means? Also, you look like you're coworkers which explains why you got emotional and you seem biased. Further: I didn't insult him.

- gjkood 10y agoThe silver lining in this exchange chain is that I got to download what looks like a great eBook on Cryptography 101 and a link for future reference. Thank you LVH.
