Awesome Rust Cryptography: Additional guide-like resources #24

Open DianaNites opened 3 years ago

DianaNites commented 3 years ago

I think more guide/tutorial like resources could be useful, targeted to non-crypto experts, normal developers, and providing recommendations for what things to use in what situations, safe libraries to use, and perhaps additional resources explaining why these things are a good idea, and to learn more about crypto in general.

Especially based around things a common developer may want to do that may involve crypto, such as encrypting data on disk behind a password, making sure something hasn't been tampered with, or that information can't be snooped over a network protocol? Potentially explaining why they may not make sense and what better solutions may be?

One potential resource I'm already aware of is https://cryptobook.nakov.com/, but I can't speak for its accuracy or how maintained it is myself.

Sounds good. I think we can definitely add a "Resources" sections with external links to things like high-quality tutorials
