Reading "I am a cryptographer" got me wary, looking back at your comments, I see that you did this multiple times before and I've tried looking you up but I couldn't find anything that substantiates that claim, I've looked also for publications and couldn't find any so I am curious, what are your credentials?

I try to keep my resume to myself unless absolutely necessary because a) recruiters b) arguments to authority are damaging, but Crypto 101[0] is probably the most interesting public one. Other than that, being one of the founders and the resident cryptographer of PyCA and Latacora, also caesium and magicnonce specifically.

The silver lining in this exchange chain is that I got to download what looks like a great eBook on Cryptography 101 and a link for future reference. Thank you LVH.

Glad you liked it!

I think you completely misread that comment. He was just trying to say he wasn't involved but he has enough domain knowledge that he should be able (and is willing) to answer questions about the protocol. Not, "believe me when I say things because I'm a cryptographer."
