This looks helpful for people who are already very code-literate. But it seems like "101" should start with the absolute basics, stuff like classical cyphers, the history of cryptography, and definitions of basic terms. I realize that's not what the HN crowd really needs, but it would be a good place for hundreds of millions who are interested in learning what it really means for something to be secure, encrypted, hashed, etc. Anyone have a favorite resource to this end?
