Happy to.
Is this something people find interesting? I was thinking of doing a small guide/tutorial/course where I teach these basics of cryptography, while building up to a working file encryption tool written completely from scratch. Probably such a thing exists already, but /shrugs these kinds of questions always seem to come up.
- UncleMeat 9y agoThis is risky. Unless you are a pro, it is generally not a great idea to publish a "how-to" for crypto because of the risk you might get it wrong in subtle ways that now propagate through the ecosystem.
- fpgaminer 9y agoI know all the subtle things. That said, I wouldn't write the course for people intending to become cryptographers or cryptographic engineers. That would require a university grade program. It would be geared towards people who have a curiosity of the inner machinations of encryption. Ya know, like the people who come to Hacker News, read articles like this, and ask questions.
