Editing CrazyCryptoCnight

== What is Crypto Cnight? ==

Every Friday night, 6pm onwards! A cryptography teaching & learning session at Noisebridge, run by participants. Probably will have some kind of hands on component, too.

Bonus points for tweed coats and bubble pipes.

== Topics ==

Please list topics here you want to cover.

Peter is interested in:
* Some history of cryptography in the 20th century (those who... history... repeat it... etc)
* Some general review of common cryptosystems (I'm familiar with some, but there are many...) 
* What makes a good S box?
* Hands on examples of differential and linear cryptanalysis?
* I'd be into trying to give a talk on ECC, as that would motivate me to really sitting down and figuring that shit out.

Jonathan is interested in:
* cryptographic protocols
* randomness and it's real world implementations. For instance how good are the generators on smart cards?

== People and Backgrounds ==

If you are interested, leave your name here. Please also indicate roughly the background you have in 0) crypto, 1) mathematics, and 2) programming. 

*DavidMolnar, graduate level in crypto, ok but spotty in math, decent but not great at programming
*PeterYoungmeister, some knowledge in crypto, BA in math so decent but rusty, and almost no programming.
*erin, undergrad crypto, grad math, ok at programming: python, matlab
*JonathanMoore, basic crypto knolage, not so great math, good/experienced programmer
