Hello, World! This is the official twitter account for cryptography-primer.info/ (still in early development). I want to build a site for easy, accessible and secure info on #cryptography and #CyberSecurity for #SoftwareEngineering and #devops folks. Yours, @dalbuschat
Update #11: AES: Added implementation notes for AES-GCM that explains the nonce-reuse problematic and recommends AES-GCM-SIV as an alternative:
cryptography-primer.info/alg… #cryptographyfordevs
Update #10: Added a disclaimer on how to use recommendations by @CryptPrimer. This will be used on every page, so that you can not miss it. #cryptographyfordevs
In the meantime, I'm wading through resources on Elliptic Curves, but nothing to share publicly, yet.
Update #9: Added page on the ChaCha algorithm and ciphers. This took some time, although ChaCha is arguably much easier than AES!

Just blogged: #Cryptography: What is the difference between Hashing, Signing and MAC?
dev.to/danielkun/cryptograph… (this is an except from cryptography-primer.info/)
Update #8: Added recommendations and code samples for AES key generation on cryptography-primer.info/alg… #Cryptography #cryptographyfordevs
Update #8: Improved the "hash vs. signature vs. MAC" page and included comprehensive comparisons of common hash and signature algorithms: cryptography-primer.info/has… #cryptography #cryptographyfordevs
Update #7: Added a whole new section as an overview of Hashing, Signing and MACs. Detailed information about each will follow cryptography-primer.info/has… #cryptography #cryptographyfordevs
Update #6:
- Added a LOGO 🎉
- Redesigned the entry page
- Include only content that is already there in navigation and entry page
- Added a Roadmap
See: cryptography-primer.info/ #cryptography #cryptographyfordevs #cybersecurity
Update #5: Reworked the #encryption overview page (cryptography-primer.info/enc…), fixed some mistakes and properly described AE and AEAD. Also made the "Explore Topics" tiles responsive so that they look good on mobile phones #cryptographyfordevs #cryptography
Update #4: Added #cryptography information regarding the security level of AES: cryptography-primer.info/alg… #cryptographyfordevs
Update #3: AES: Even more word-finetuning regarding the #cryptography choice of modes, and added additional references (all now collected in the footnotes). cryptography-primer.info/alg… #cryptographyfordevs
Update #2: Updated the "modes of operation" section on AES #cryptography. I consider this "good enough" for now and will focus on broader application/use cases of AES next. cryptography-primer.info/alg… #cryptographyfordevs
Update #1: Added key derivation code sample for use with AES #cryptography and some more "discouragements" for bad practices. cryptography-primer.info/alg… #cryptographyfordevs
