I knew someone would say this.
"Never roll your own cryptography", despite the ambiguity of its phrasing, means never use uncertified crypto in production unless you're willing to take the risk. It doesn't mean to never build cryptography without an expert's permission. Everyone who has ever published world-class cryptography has rolled their own crypto.
- misterjinx 4y agoThat is what I meant by my comment, I was not referring to learning exercises, I should've been more clear, though.
- Dracophoenix 4y agoMy apologies then. I've seen this phrase repeated ad nauseam even when its not warranted and I want to point out that it shouldn't be followed blindly.
