The Essence of Cryptography

Approachable explanations of cryptographic concepts that build intuition for the primitives, guarantees, and trade-offs behind secure systems.

Ciphers and Hashes Explained

Cryptography is the fundamental lifeblood of computer security. Unfortunately, with all the hardcore theory and mathematics, it has become one of the least approachable topics in computer science. In this article, as part of our exploration into the essence of cryptography, we will look into the difference between ciphers and hashes.
