Anyone into Cryptography?

Posted by FatalDragon [send private reply] at June 21, 2002, 02:15:56 PM

Anyone here know much about Cryptography? Is it usful for programming? I downloaded the eBook verion of "Handbook of Applied Cryptography", is it a good book?

Never read the book, but cryptography can be quite fun in programming. Go for it, I say.

Ok, I think I'll find out more on Cryptography.

CryptograPHY is the greatest. I have been doing some work on it 4 the pAST one year. U cannot call it programming.. It is a way in which u transfer data, so that others dont understand what it is.

I seem to have become a master on cryptography. Nobody has ever been able to decrypt my handwritting, not even the CIA.

You might want to buy 'Applied Cryptography' by Bruce Schneier. It's an excellent introduction to cryptography for programmers and doesn't require as much knowledge in mathematics as the more advanced books. 'Handbook of applied cryptography' isn't nearly as easy to read.

Egad! It's henrik! This doesn't happen often...

Well :) I'm getting more and more grown up to my great horror. I never thought i'd be the one to leave. But I do stop by occationally.

This time Psion sent me a msg asking me to sign up go the old geezers site, and i stopped by here. I'm glad TPU is still going.

Wait, since when was cryptography not an art of programming??? Sure, it could be built into a piece of hardware, but what's the fun in that. I say that people should build programs to screw with data if they want to, lol. I found it well worth my time coming up with the most insane block cipher ever, lol. By the way, it's a 280-bit block and very unique...Inefficient, but unique, lol.
