πŸ¦€ Rust Weekly Log β€” Cryptography Edition

This week I shipped two things around practical cryptography in Rust:

πŸ” New Sealed in Rust Chapter
AES vs ChaCha20 β€” same security level, very different trade-offs in performance, hardware acceleration, and safety.

▢️ New Fearless in Rust Video
A clear explanation of Feistel Networks, including why they’re reversible by design and how encryption/decryption works in Rust.

Building in public, one primitive at a time.
