Sharing notes from my ongoing learning journey — what I build, break and understand along the way.
Cryptography – Post 3: Discovering Argon2 Today I learned why even bcrypt — which I thought was solid — isn’t the end of the road for password hashing.Argon2 takes it further, and for good reason. Why Argon2? I already knew…
Learning Cryptography – Post 2: Hashing Passwords — The Right Way Hashing is a powerful tool — but when it comes to storing passwords securely, it’s not enough by itself. After digging deeper, here’s what I learned about the risks…
Cryptography – Post 1: Hashing Basics I’ve recently started diving into cryptography — not from the headlines, but from the ground up.I’m starting with hashing: what it is, how it works, and where it shows up in real systems. What…
