Hey /g/,
Well I'm about to finish the Crypto class offered at my University. It's been pretty standard stuff (RSA, Diffie Hellman), but I was a little let down by the whole experience.
What's some cool/interesting shit involving cryptography I should look into? Something I certainly won't see in a 20 year old textbook? Any interesting ciphers? attack strategies? key exchanges? etc.

I can't help you but I've been wanting to look into that, did you read any good I introduction books in your class that you would recommend?
>>56957872
I used the class's textbook in the thumbnail. Honestly not a bad book, but doesn't go in-depth enough on anything really. Gives what appears to be a brief overview, all of the "cool" stuff (writing scripts to crack ciphers, proofs for various properties, encrypting/decrypting by hand) seems to be left out for a lot of necessary stuff.
Bumping for interest

I too am bumping for interest.
Does anyone have anything interesting to contribute involving cryptography or is this board too busy arguing about how to get high fps on their games?

Most of this board doesn't understand basic physics nor math. Why would you expect them to contribute something related to crypto. The hackers aren't going to come to your thread unless you have something interesting to say, otherwise, they're sitting in that irc or posting desktops. Friendly tip: AES is completely broken.

Is this you?
