What does HackerNews think of book?

Crypto 101, the introductory book on cryptography.

Language: Python

Sure! I didn't blog about it, but it is in the issue tracker of e.g. https://github.com/crypto101/book.
It seems that the downloadable pdf doesn't have a couple of tweaks that have landed in master (https://github.com/crypto101/book). Any plans to generate a slightly updated version ?

PS: Thanks for your work ! Watched your talk and it was a nice quick primer. Glad you turned it into a book with more detail.

You can get the org mode plaintext source here: https://github.com/crypto101/book.

It doesn't read as well as the PDF because there's a ton of illustrations and _something_ has to render them.

Paragraph "Development" (page 14 in the current version) answers your question:

"The entire Crypto 101 project is publicly developed on GitHub under the crypto101 organization, including this book: https://github.com/crypto101/book "

[...]

"The copy of this book that you are reading right now is based on the git commit with hash 3f89ec3 , also known as 0.4.0-22-g3f89ec3"

Then, looking at the commits, yes the book changed a lot since 2014: https://github.com/crypto101/book/commits/master

Yeah; there's a link somewhere in the "Development" section. It's org-mode, though: https://github.com/crypto101/book

Everything about this project (except the TLS keys) is on Github.
