Papers
A curated list of cryptography papers, articles, tutorials, and howtos for engineers and non-cryptographers.
What is Papers?
Awesome Crypto Papers is a curated, open-source list of cryptography papers, articles, tutorials, and howtos designed for non-cryptographers and engineers. It serves as an educational resource to help people understand cryptographic principles, implementations, attacks, and failures for practical security applications like database encryption and secure communication. The collection is organized by topic and knowledge level, from beginner introductions to advanced specialized areas.
Engineers and developers who use cryptography in higher-level security systems, such as implementing database encryption, secure sharing, or end-to-end encryption, and need to understand how it works and how it can fail. It is also useful for students and professionals seeking structured, practical cryptographic reading materials.
It provides a carefully selected, topic-organized collection of must-read cryptographic materials focused on practical understanding rather than academic historicity. Developers choose it because it saves time curating quality resources and offers a clear learning path from basics to advanced topics, all curated by someone experienced in onboarding engineers to cryptography.
