As someone not in the know about cryptography, I know just enought that the words "custom cryptography" scare the hell out of me.

I'm not clear why someone would roll their own crypto. There are so many good solutions out there that are free that it seems pointless.

I keep hearing about post-quantum being an issue though.

It's time to get over the "never roll your own crypto!" bs.

AI can roll you crypto far better than what humans have built by hand. They can literally test things to an extent that no human ever would.

They don’t though. LLMs are massive cheaters when it comes to unit tests. Claude will just conveniently not write tests for things it knows will fail.

Everybody can device an encryption algorithm that they can't break themselves. That is not sufficient.

Lmao, please go do that and get back to me. The Dunning Krueger in this day and age is alarming.

		If no one rolled their own crypto then there would be none. "Don't roll your own crypto." sounds a lot like "Don't you worry about crypto. Let _me_ worry about crypto."
