 I am following, to the slightest degree, what you're talking about but want to pick up a good book on the basics of cryptography so i dont feel so lost when i read stuff like this. Any recommendations?

 Lol indeed.

Another casualty of 'crypto' ... 
 Serious Cryptography by J P Aumasson is a pretty good 'high level introduction to the main areas of applied modern cryptography' i feel like. You could use it as a starting point for the stuff you want to delve into.

There are tons of learning materials online of course. 
 Thank you!
