Cryptography is the hottest topic in computer security. The word conjures up images of spies, adventures, and eccentric math geniuses. Move past the Hollywood take on cryptography, and you’ll find that it really is a fascinating field. It ties together math, logic, low-level bit flipping, and even hardware design.
We aren’t going to cover any of that.
