“The No. 1 rule of cryptography is ‘Don’t invent your own.'”
I'd say that's rule No. 2 and needs the obvious caveat of "unless you really know what you are doing." Encryption didn't come from nowhere.
Rule No. 1 is "Know what you are doing."
- hueving 11y agoThe people that know what they are doing when it comes to cryptography need to be employed as full-time cryptographers to stay with the state of the art. So the rule should be, "if the person inventing your crypto does anything else for a living, it's going to be full of holes".
