[liberationtech] Matasano Crypto Challenges

[Nadim Kobeissi]

These challenges are really great. Another source of similar training is  
Stanford University's online cryptography classes, taught (for free!) by  
Dan Boneh.

Boneh's classes include practical assignments that are almost identical to  
the CryptoPals challenges, but it's still worth doing both the challenges  
and the classes since the classes also cover a lot of theory/math  
background.
