ronkathon
A Rust implementation of cryptographic primitives from first principles for educational purposes.
What is ronkathon?
Ronkathon is a Rust-based educational project that implements cryptographic primitives from scratch to build understanding from first principles. It covers fundamental algebraic structures, curves, polynomials, signature algorithms, encryption methods, and hash functions. The project uses non-secure curves and fields specifically for learning purposes, inspired by resources like plonk-by-hand.
Cryptography students, researchers, and developers who want to understand cryptographic fundamentals by implementing algorithms from the ground up. It's particularly valuable for those exploring zero-knowledge proofs and PLONK-based systems.
Developers choose Ronkathon for its comprehensive, from-scratch implementation approach that prioritizes educational clarity over production optimization. It provides a unique hands-on learning path through cryptographic foundations with well-documented mathematical background.
