Even if you use existing implementations, you can still use them in the wrong way and really screw up. Knowing how to correctly use implementations and what mistakes to avoid should be required for anybody using cryptography and that takes some familiarity with the material.
- grifball 5y agoYeah, there's a lot of crypto that's specifically tailored to minimizing the effect of mistakes like IV-reuse and it's not solved, the primitives can't do everything, so it's good to know these pitfalls. This book is more theoretical than that though and there's probably better sources idk.
