Show HN: Real-World Cryptography, the book, is done and shipping hey folks! My book Real-World Cryptography was just released and is now shipping. I've been working on this thing for the last two years and a half, and the goal was to give a good overview of everything that can be classified as "real-world" about crypto. You'll find all the basics in the first half of the book, and the second half contains chapters on TLS, noise, PAKEs, post-quantum cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, MPC, cryptocurrencies, FHE, etc. So it's a good pick if you're learning, but also if you've been in the field for a while and want an intro to some subfield you're interested in. It's not a reference book, and is written in a light style. Also has some art and lots of diagrams. Anyway, here's the link :) https://bit.ly/3o0BMZg September 23, 2021 at 01:32AM
