Week 2018-W50 in reading
This week’s list is rather short as I’m still ill.
- Some materials about Information Mapping(R):
- Elliptic Curve Cryptography:
- A brief introduction by Nick Sullivan.
It helped me grasp the key concepts and while I’m far from ready
to start implementing anything based on that limited knowledge,
I have at least got an idea how it works.
- Another article on
math behind ECC is
still on my list. It contains some more math so maybe I’ll get
to understand it a bit better? Let’s see.
- It all started when I’ve read
about Ed25519,
which I would like to implement one day in Scheme. I’ve already
started porting
DJB’s python version to
Racket a few days ago but decided I first need to understand it
better because just rewriting it in another language won’t be
useful even a bit.
- Christopher Lemmer Webber on MediaGoblin and ActivityPub,
a not so short interview with a very interesting person who took
part in standardizing the protocol that the Fediverse uses.
- I’ve been reading
The Racket Guide,
which is very nice and whenever it’s not enough, one has the option
of reading the full docs
(e.g. Byte Strings).
Whenever I had some spare time, I’ve been reading
Christopher Lemmer Webber’s blog.
In the paper books department, I’ve picked a book I’ve suspended a
while ago: “How Not to Be Wrong. The Power of Mathematical Thinking”
by Jordan Ellenberg.
