| Mar 19, 2024 at 13:00 | comment | added | Paul Uszak | The first comment to you from @MarkSchultz-Wu is his view only. There are many here that believe a mono-culture approach to encryption is both foolish & dangerous. "Eggs in one basket?" Just ask an Irish potato farmer or any bacterium. Look though the questions here to prove that to yourself, especially regarding various one time pad implementations. | |

The original intent of the question was in response to a principle shooting me down with “never make your own” to what I thought was a curiosity question: “In WebCrypto, which does not support streaming, can I support streaming by encrypting each chunk instead of the whole buffer?” As an example this kind of exchange happens and the discussion never actually happens; hence this question. | |

| Mar 19, 2024 at 2:25 | comment | added | poncho Mod | @suchislife: "uses nothing possibly created by the NSA"; actually SHA-256 and SHA-512 was designed by the NSA :-) | |
| Mar 19, 2024 at 1:24 | comment | added | suchislife | If you wanna try an existing and open source communication protocol that will blow your mind, check out The X3DH Key Agreement Protocol. If encryption went to the gym 7 days a week and used steroids, this would be it. End-2-End-Encryption that uses nothing possibly created by the NSA. | |
| Mar 19, 2024 at 1:10 | comment | added | Mark Schultz-Wu Mod | It depends on what you mean by "experiment with cryptography". If you mean this in production then there's a uniformly negative view of the topic. For experimenting with cryptography for fun, not all cryptographers view this negatively (see for example this podcast). | |
