Foundations

Modern Cryptography Foundations

Beginner

A beginner-friendly introduction to confidentiality, integrity, authentication, keys, and the difference between encoding, hashing, and encryption.

Best for: New learners who need the big picture before exploring algorithms.

Symmetric Encryption

AES and Block Cipher Intuition

Intermediate

Explains how block ciphers transform fixed-size blocks through repeated rounds, substitution, permutation, and key mixing.

Best for: Users exploring AES, DES, IDEA, and block-mode visualizers.

Asymmetric Encryption

RSA Public-Key Cryptography

Intermediate

Introduces RSA key generation, encryption, decryption, and why public/private key pairs are useful.

Best for: Users working through RSA key-generation or modular arithmetic demos.

Key Exchange

Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange

Beginner

Shows how two parties can agree on a shared secret over an insecure channel without sending the secret directly.

Best for: Learners comparing symmetric keys with public-key exchange.

Hashing

Hash Functions and Integrity

Beginner

Covers one-way hashing, fixed-length digests, integrity checks, and why collisions matter.

Best for: Users exploring SHA-256, CRC32, Merkle proofs, or collision demos.

Elliptic Curves

Elliptic-Curve Cryptography Overview

Advanced

Introduces elliptic-curve groups, scalar multiplication, and why ECC can provide strong security with smaller keys.

Best for: Advanced learners studying ECDSA, Ed25519, X25519, or curve-based systems.

Cryptanalysis

Side-Channel Attacks Explained

Advanced

Explains how implementation behaviour such as timing, memory access, or power can leak secrets.

Best for: Users exploring timing attacks, side-channel demos, and secure implementation practices.

Key Derivation

Password Hashing and Key Derivation

Intermediate

Explains salts, work factors, password hashing, and why dedicated KDFs are different from fast general-purpose hashes.

Best for: Users learning PBKDF2, bcrypt, scrypt, Argon2id, or dictionary attack concepts.

Manual testing checklist

  1. 1Open the Curated Cryptography Video Library page.
  2. 2Confirm the featured embedded preview is visible.
  3. 3Search for AES and confirm matching videos are filtered.
  4. 4Filter by topic and confirm the video cards update.
  5. 5Filter by difficulty and confirm beginner/intermediate/advanced results update.
  6. 6Filter by tag and confirm only matching tagged videos remain.
  7. 7Open a watch link and confirm it uses a new browser tab.
  8. 8Resize to mobile width and confirm embedded previews and cards remain usable.
