  • Rolling your own crypto: Everything you need to build AES from scratch

    But you're approaching it from the wrong perspective: the idea isn't to use the crypto you implement yourself, the idea is to gain a better understanding of how the "magic" works. Of course my hand-rolled RSA/AES crypto is breakable, I know that because that's the default assumption.

    It's akin to saying, "you're not allowed to build your own smoke detector because it will be unsafe!". Of course I know that, I want to understand the differences between a photoelectric and ionization smoke detector, how they work in practice, because reading some PDF schematics just doesn't cut it for me.

    I honestly don't understand the line of reasoning of all this crypto gatekeeping.

    Fun fact: while I was doing my crypto deep dive in 2015, my language of choice being Haskell, I found issues in several libraries, specifically around entropy, and even one library with modulo bias [1]. They were acknowledged and addressed. It was a super fun learning exercise, and seeing all these comments how it's supposedly almost illegal to do this misses the point of people exploring and learning in their own ways.
