I hate implementing encryption some shit always breaks

The first rule of implementing cryptographic algorithms is: Don't.

Why are you doing encryption yourself?

@7400 this ☝🏻

@7400 maybe to learn how a particular kind of cryptographic algoritm works

@7400 He might simply mean implementing AES or other algos.

@PrivateGER: I was assuming they were implementing some well-proven algorithm, but that just decreases the risk of cryptographic weaknesses from a theoretical viewpoint. The implementation is still very critical and it is not straightforward to eliminate a resonable number of possible attack vectors.

But yeah, “don't roll your own crypto” would be rule number 0.
