You blogged the shit outta that post!
Definitely an interesting read even for crypto dilettantes. Perhaps, especially for crypto dilettantes.
I took Rivest's Computer and Network Security class in college and the most important takeaway for me, far outstripping all of the interesting technical content, was "Don't implement crypto."
- tptacek 17y agoMan, you had "don't implement crypto" and I was all, that kicks ass. Then you edited it to say "in general", and now I'm sad.
- _pius 17y agoHa! Good point. Edit undone. :)
- access_denied 17y ago"Perhaps, especially for crypto dilettantes." Yes, that's what I thought in the middle of it: he wrote it to educate his clients in an entertaining way to not have to explain this tricky thing for a millionths time. Good read, BTW.
