Ah, so the cryptography involved in authentication schemes is a first year CS trivial task. Hashing, salting, optimization, defending against side-channel attacks, looking for backdoors introduced by state actors, developing standards used by the strongest militaries on the planet that protects literally enough nuclear weapons to destroy all life on the planet, that's old news by week 3 of the course at any community college. The folks who went overboard with those Phds in cryptography or became specialists in elite OpSec or post-quantum cryptography really did waste their time and money, and someone should tell the CIA they don't need to go hunting for the best cryptography hackers on the planet, just grab a year one CS brogrammer and they can totally make sure all is secure in the ToR network.

Tell you what. I'll never become a specialist if you never become a doctor. I'd rather you not refuse to admit that there are better doctors for a task than you if my health is in your hands.
