A really useful piece of advice is to spend some time CRACKING ciphers. It's amazing how much your perspective changes on cipher security after only a little bit of time doing cryptanalysis. Suddenly you begin to realize that all kinds of things you previously thought would make a cipher invulnerable, are only small speed bumps in the way of a skilled cryptographer. The best way to understand crypto security isn't to work on the making ciphers end, but on the cracking ciphers end. Making new ciphers is a blast, but you can create much better ones after spending some time breaking ciphers. |
