You made it to part 4! Here’s a quick overview of what we have broken down so far. We started with some basic vocabulary for cryptographic building blocks and talked about hash functions in Part 1, were introduced to symmetric ciphers, keys, and … Continue reading Ease Me Into Cryptography Part 4: TLS – Applied Cryptographic Foundations
Welcome to Part 3! A quick recap of where we’ve been. In Part 1: Buzzwords and Hash Function we talked about some foundational cryptography vocab and were introduced to hash functions, how they’re used, and some drawbacks. In Part 2: Symmet… Continue reading Ease Me Into Cryptography Part 3: Asymmetric Ciphers
In the first article in this series on the basics of crypto, “Ease Me Into Cryptography Part 1: Buzzwords and Hash Function”, we learned some lingo and talked about the different aspects of hash functions. Remember that hash functions are one-way ̵… Continue reading Ease Me Into Cryptography Part 2: Symmetric Ciphers
You know what it’s like being in security, and someone asks you what you do. Now imagine the responses when I tell people I do cryptography. And it’s not just outsiders. Even within a techie crowd, common responses range from “Ooof, t… Continue reading Ease Me Into Cryptography Part 1: Buzzwords and Hash Function
