Aug 28, 2013 at 16:14 comment added ro_m no, I am not a cryptographer, but a very paraoid and very interested individual. unfortunatelly my original post has been heavily censored by some mod (I think) - originaly there was some background information. also: why do I have to be a cryptographer for wanting to implement cryptography? and further... in your eyes, how does one become a cryptographer, so far I haven't found any cryptography bachelor or master teaching me how to implement sth, only theoretical mathematics.
Aug 23, 2013 at 1:18 comment added atk Are you a cryptographer working to earn your degree in crypto? Have you read any books about common crypto protocol errors? If not, then you really shouldn't be attempting this... it's just way too hard to get right, and literally multiple books have been written on what goes wrong. It's waaaaay too broad for stack exchange

Aug 22, 2013 at 6:34 comment added Stolas A university professor in Math once told me, "doing cryptography right is not doing it yourself". He meant you always make a mistake, and crypto works as a LOT of mathematicians, crypto-analysts and security researchers have checked the work. Great to try if you are learning though.

Aug 22, 2013 at 0:40 comment added Chris S Aerovistae: bcrypt is for password hashing/key derivation, not encryption. And in any case PBKDF2 (which he is using for key derivation) is perfectly fine.
