I've been digging into some of the history of modern cryptography, as I seek to better explain how an app of mine works under the hood. It has been fascinating.

I've been digging into some of the history of modern cryptography, as I seek to better explain how an app of mine works under the hood. It has been fascinating. I didn't expect AES-256-GCM's history to involve a duel where someone literally died. I'm hoping to write a few part series digging into more specifically, the history of the cryptography space.
