What I would like, but haven’t found yet, is a cheat sheet on what up to date encryption method or algorithm one should use for whatever need. A kind of requirement -> algorithm dictionary.

Like, I need to authenticate that a client is a known identity. What algo? How to use it? What to avoid? I need to sign a message or document. How? I need to verify said message. How? I need to store passwords. How?

I know some crypto, but discovering and learning about them is a bit of a pain. For how important crypto is, you‘d think someone would have bothered to teach developers how to choose and deploy these algorithms properly.
