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 schemes (LMS, XMSS, SPHINCS+)

- Error-Correcting Codes (linear, Hamming, Golay, cyclic, BCH, Reed-Solomon codes

I don't remember if it links to it, but this pairs well with https://cryptopals.com/, which are practical examples of many of these theories.

This looks to be really well written. After 25 odd pages, I'm saying to myself, can't wait to read the whole book.

About to finish reading "Real World Cryptograhy" by David Wong, would highly recommend for anyone curious about this subject.

>Fortunately, we donʼt have an algorithm that can factor such large numbers in reasonable time. Unfortunately, we also havenʼt proven it doesnʼt exist. Even more unfortunate is that there is a theoretical algorithm, called Shorʼs algorithm, that would be able to factor such a number in reasonable time on a quantum computer. Right now, quantum computers are far from practical, but it does appear that if someone in the future manages to build one thatʼs sufficiently large, RSA becomes ineffective.

Can anyone comment on how close we are to having Shor's algorithm on a quantum computer? Is feasible like the moon landing was in 1962 when Kennedy announced that "We choose to go to the Moon" (hard, but possible with a lot of money).

Or is it still something that we have no clue how to get to?

So it’s not like the moon landing since the horizon is much longer than a decade.

I think cryptanalysis as a discipline is not massively funded. All of the cryptography is only as strong as the collective failure of all human intelligence so far to break it.

Most people consider cryptography as a "solved" problem, but I don't think it is. I am sure if enough cryptologists try algorithmic methods and are well compensated for it, they will likely find algorithmic weaknesses (and invent new kinds of mathematics) that can bring down complexity of solving such schemes, even before we have real and functional Shor machines.

thaumasiotes•7mo ago
> I think cryptanalysis as a discipline is not massively funded.

Really? That would be a change.

z3phyr•7mo ago
I guess massively is the relative word. But I will stand by the claim that we can discover/invent new mathematical methods that can aid in cryptanalysis, if not directly by cryptographers, then by some adjacent field.

Looks great, thanks for sharing
