Perl Encryption Primer

by Timm Murray

This is a compilation of the "Perl Encryption Primer" series of articles by Timm Murray, as published on http://www.wumpus-cave.net/category/encryption/. I have taken the liberty of moving the content here (as is), formatting it as Markdown and ordering them chronologically from top to bottom to easen the reading experience. Enjoy!

Timm also made a one-hour video of the presentation he gave at MadMongers, which summarizes the content below.

This is a plain-text version of Bret Victor’s reading list. It was requested by hf on Hacker News.

Highly recommended things!

This is my five-star list. These are my favorite things in all the world.

A few of these works have had an extraordinary effect on my life or way of thinking. They get a sixth star. ★

	[System.Windows.Forms.Cursor]::Position = New-Object System.Drawing.Point($x, $y)

	I have the 8 Ball in my back pocket. I figure that makes me kind of a defense contractor. And I ought to get paid like one, meaning grossly overpaid. -- Richard Kadrey: Kill City Blues
	There's only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. -- Aristotle
	Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying. -- Arthur C. Clarke
	History is a set of lies agreed upon. -- Napoleon Bonaparte
	The only time the word "incorrectly" isn't spelled incorrectly is when it's spelled incorrectly.
	Back when PHP had less than 100 functions, the function hashing mechanism was strlen(). In order to get a nice hash distribution of function names across the various function name lengths, names were picked specifically to make them fit into a specific length bucket. -- Rasmus Lerdorf
	<Raborn> I just read a book about Stockholm Syndrome. It was pretty bad at first, but by the end I kinda liked it.

	-- Around the 30 minute mark he gives an example of what he calls a failure
	-- of the F# type system, because it allows him to add energy to torque.
	-- I demonstrate here that Haskell's type system is capable of ruling
	-- out this nonsense. I have no experience with F#; maybe its type system
	-- can do the same, if appropriately handled.

	-- We'll need some multiparameter typeclasses.
