Read more Who Should Read This Book While writing,
Aumasson often imagined the reader as a developer who’d
been exposed to crypto but still felt clueless and frustrated
after attempting to read abstruse textbooks and research
papers. Developers often need — and want — a better grasp
of crypto to avoid unfortunate design choices, and Aumasson
hoped this book would help. But if you aren’t a developer, don’t
worry! The book doesn’t require any coding skills, and is
accessible to anyone who understands the basics of computer
science and college-level math (notions of probabilities,
modular arithmetic, and so on). This book can nonetheless be
intimidating, and despite its relative accessibility, it requires
some effort to get the most out of it. We like the
mountaineering analogy: the author paves the way, providing
you with ropes and ice axes to facilitate your work, but you
make the ascent yourself. Learning the concepts in this book
will take an effort, but there will be a reward at the end. About
