 Yup cryptography is an obscure part of mathematics, dont get used to it, this will be your only month of hearing about it 
 Nah, I was cleaning out my old belongings. This page was from my textbook 15+ years ago and I was commenting that it’s still relevant today. This month will not be the only month I’m hearing about it because Nostr, Bitcoin, and many other things use cryptography. I just implemented the NIP-44 encryption spec this week. 
 Oh lol thought you were in school learning about, how long did you study it?
