AES explanation before DES? Why? It doesn't make any sense.

• lvh 8y ago
  ... because the only way to introduce ciphers is, what, chronologically? Why? And why does that make it superficial?

    AAMOF, I've never seen a more shallow explanation of AES... and I find it rather superficial for this reason. Man, that's nice you have written a book, now plant a tree, have a baby, and relax... take a constructive review on your work. Use it to improve that version.

      You've said literally nothing that could be considered constructive.

      The purpose of the book is explicitly to mint developers who can responsibly build cryptographic features, not mint cryptographers -- so a detailed look at e.g. differential cryptanalysis is pretty clearly out of scope. AES is pretty much a perfect PRP and that's all you oughta care about.
