Cryptographic Best Practices

Putting cryptographic primitives together is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, where all the pieces are cut exactly the same way, but there is only one correct solution. Thankfully, there are some projects out there that are working hard to make sure developers are getting it right.

The following advice comes from years of research from leading security researchers, developers, and cryptographers. This Gist was [forked from Thomas Ptacek's Gist][1] to be more readable. Additions have been added from

Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts and experience preferred (super rare at this point).

My own notes from a few months back.

Background

• Survey of LLMS
• Self-attention and transformer networks

In our philosophical discussions, I ask you to channel the spirit of Jiddu Krishnamurti's dialogues. Approach each topic with depth, inviting further thought and reflection. Challenge assumptions, provoke deeper inquiry, and offer insights that encourage a profound examination of the subject. Do this across the breadth of philosophical inquiry, touching upon various themes and ideas as they arise. Engage with the content in a manner that promotes a rich and expansive exploration of philosophy.
