Cryptography Videos Recommended on Hacker News (90)

Cryptography is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 90 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2011 and 2026 — 253 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Cryptography: encryption, public key, RSA, elliptic curves, TLS, hashing, zero-knowledge proofs, Bitcoin, blockchain, cryptocurrency, passwords, history of codes and ciphers, Enigma.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on Behind the Scenes of iOS Security: “if you haven't watched the talk at Black Hat I'd highly recommend it” — an HN commenter, 2018.
