I love this. In my college library there's a row of books on mathematics, a single shelf unit on computer science (system admin, SQL, the works), a shelf on cryptography most books on RSA two books on ECC and ONE single book on essoteric protocols, and it's this one (not this edition) covers things like blind signing, dining cryptographers, homomorphic encryption, zero knowledge proofs, all before the whole bitcoin thing got annoying. bring back cool cryptography (blind ECC is annoyingly hard to explain) |

interesting, I feel like Bitcoin (& entire crypto ecosystem) has been good for cryptography.
More research, more innovative ideas, for ex zero knowledge proofs have been getting a lot of traction because of ETH etc. though I think it was discovered before cryptocurrencies.
