If cryptography is a solved problem then why is it so hard and why do we still get it wrong? “Never roll your own crypto” but cryptographic libraries are a myriad of functions so how does a developer know what is good or not and how should you develop and test your code? Let’s a take journey through the world of cryptography and look at some of the mistake that developers have made, the pitfalls and how you should approach implementing cryptography in your applications and systems.
