You Don’t Understand TLS. Here’s Why You Need to Build It Yourself.

📅 July 7, 2026 📂 Systems & Hardware

Most developers trust TLS libraries without understanding the underlying protocol. Building your own TLS implementation from scratch forces deep understanding of cryptographic handshakes and certificate validation. Dmytro Huz’s experience shows that debugging the handshake yourself exposes the fragility of trust in third-party code—and why you should never deploy homemade TLS, but absolutely should build it for learning.

The Cryptographic Assumption That’s Quietly Handing Attackers the Keys

📅 July 6, 2026 📂 Tech Industry

Most cryptographers assume large multipliers guarantee security for hidden number problems. But the small-multiplier regime is where lattice reduction turns an NP-hard problem into a polynomial-time attack. This article reveals the vulnerability, the elegant mathematics behind it, and what security engineers must check in their own code.
