Crypto 101 – Introductory course on cryptography

This is about to eat my weekend, I think! :) Quite seriously, this is exactly what the tech world needs - personally, I know that in terms of understanding of crypto I'm streets ahead of the average Joe, but orders of magnitude behind people who actually know the field. I'm certain I'm far from alone in that set, but the way the world's going means that we with the generalised technical know-how have a moral impetus to bring the rest…

+1 for the fact that the "get book" button on linked site just downloads the pdf.

This is a preview release of Crypto 101, an introductory course on cryptography. It's a follow-up to a talk I gave last year at PyCon. To paraphrase David Reid, abstinence-only crypto education isn't working. We need easily accessible crypto education for developers. This book, and, once they're done, the included exercises, hopes to help. I will happily answer all your questions here, by e-mail (see profile) or on twitter (@lvh). In case the website breaks down, here's the direct download…

Thanks for the link. You can download this entire Handbook of Applied Cryptography for free [1]. Recently the authors also provided online course and video namely: - Cryptography 101: Building Blocks (fundamental cryptographic primitives) [2] - Cryptography 101: Real-World Deployments (PKI, TLS, Bluetooth, AWS, Signal) [3] Other courses and video includes: - The Mathematics of Lattice-Based Cryptography (introductory course) - Kyber and Dilithium (standardized lattice-based cryptosystems) - Hash-based signature…
