This is a loose collection of informative sites on cryptographic subjects. This will need ordering and categorization later.

Cryptographic hashes

  • An Illustrated Guide to Cryptographic Hashes , Steve Friedl
    http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/iguide-crypto-hashes.html
    An excellent introduction with nice pictures and examples.

    Block cyphers

  • C source code for AES, RC4, 3DES, SHA-1, SHA-2, MD5 and some comments , Christophe Devine
    http://www.cr0.net:8040/code/crypto/
    Also nice bibliography and network tools on the same page.

    Steganography

  • Outguess, Niels Provos
    http://www.outguess.org/
    Outguess is an advanced steg tool for embedding info in the redundant bits. It actually provides more: a crypto framework, which is at its core agnostic about what the redundant bits are in a particular format, leaving this to format-specific plugins. The site also contains a steg detection tool, stegdetect.

  • http://www.topology.org/soft/crypto.html,
    http://www.topology.org/soft/crypto.html
    A list of crypto links, has a section on steg

    General crypto links collections

  • http://www.topology.org/soft/crypto.html,
    http://www.topology.org/soft/crypto.html
    A list of good crypto links
