Which resource(s) would you recommend for someone who wants to learn crypto?
- indigochill 6y agoDisclaimer: I have zero professional crypto experience. That said, my hypothetical crypto curriculum looks like this: 1. Cryptopals challenges as a guide to what to learn and pay attention to (which I suspect tptacek would probably recommend as well since he had a hand in making it :P) 2. Serious Cryptography as an introduction to core concepts 3. Applied Cryptography for encyclopedic reference
- tptacek 6y agoNot a fan of Applied Cryptography: https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2013/07/22/applied-practical-cryptography/ https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2013/07/22/applied-practical-cry...
- JshWright 6y agoIf you learn well in a self directed "hands on" fashion, https://cryptopals.com/ https://cryptopals.com/ is a good place to start. (Co-created by the person you're responding to)
