liboqs VS codewars.com

How about liboqs from OpenQuantumSafe? It includes an implementation of most PQC primitives proposed to date:

Part of the issue as a prospective cryptographic user/consumer is that not only do I not know which algorithm(s) should be used, the most likely library https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs also explicitly states that it shouldn't be used in production.

Hybrid deployment (E.G. with ECC using a curve like 25519) is a great recommendation and probably obvious, far more so than picking a winner among the available post quantum possibly safe algorithms.

Hi everyone! I am currently trying to modify some settings within OpenSSL. My goal is to change the default algorithms that OpenSSL uses for generating certificates and signatures, as well as the key exchange method. Specifically, I want OpenSSL to default to the ones provided by OQS (https://openquantumsafe.org/), Dilithium and Kyber.

One thing I will mention for "most secure" is that you could add a second layer of encryption based on liboqs which aims to be quantum resistant (mostly important for asymmetric algorithms, symmetric algorithms are already thought to be quantum resistant). We don't know if any of the quantum resistant algorithms are any good or not. They could all be broken, so only use them as a second layer on top of existing encryption schemes, but if you want "the best", then that's what I would do: use standard tools with the biggest variants of the algorithm and then put a layer of post-quantum crypto on top of it.

I did some traveling around the western US in late 2022 to take stock of where my life was and where I was going. During that time I decided that I would go all-in with my coding education, and committed to learning the remaining material listed on those bootcamp syllabi that I had not yet studied – namely, connecting the pieces of the MERN stack; learning about automated testing and data structures & algorithms; and studying development paradigms & methodologies like Agile, Scrum & Kanban, and OOP design patterns & principles – as well as continue to develop my programming fundamentals on platforms like Leetcode and Codewars.

My first encounter with regular expressions was in a solution for a coding problem on Codewars, specifically Count the smiley faces! Which asks you to count the number of smiley faces in a given array but the catch is each smiley can have 1 of 2 kinds of eyes (: or ;), may or may not have a nose represented by 1 of 2 symbols (- or ~), and 1 of 2 symbols (D or ) ) for the smile. In total there are 12 different combinations that are a valid smiley. I, being the young and naive programmer I was, hard coded all 12 of those faces and checked every element against that list. And it worked! But the top solution included some strange syntax that I had never seen before

Embrace Challenges: Challenge yourself with platforms like Exercism and Codewars that offer a wide range of coding challenges of varying difficulty levels. Additionally, consider exploring niche topics through courses on platforms like Coursera and edX.

@OP DO NOT go on the path of perfecting it and parting with your time and money. Go with Jake Vanderplas's whirlwind tour of python whirlwind tour of python to get some basics and then jump into the river codewars and swim upstream daily and religiously until you reach to katas level 5. You will be good to go. My personal experience.

Codewars: Codewars

You can try Codewars, they have a diverse range of practice problems(Cryptography, Data Science, etc.). Basically if you wanna get good in a programming language, you have to work on a lot of projects and practice problems.

Codewars is a good platform. Here you can practice code kata's daily in your preferred programming language. Link: https://www.codewars.com/
