If you like this you may possibly enjoy my blog post about creating an elliptic curve for cryptographic use (for fun): http://blog.bjrn.se/2015/07/lets-construct-elliptic-curve.ht...

I also have a lot of elliptic curve code for Python here: https://github.com/bjornedstrom/elliptic-curve-chemistry-set

I'm 32 and program mostly in my spare time. At work I've gravitated more towards more "senior" style of work, like technical leadership and program management. I feel I have more impact doing that, than being the one who actually do the programming.

Nice. I too couldn't resist implementing this so I have a little Python implementation laying around. Though I never got around to publish it.

I think the wire format is nostalgically old-school. Not sure if you agree but it feels like parsing an older protocol. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Personally I would probably have used TLV:s directly instead of the pointer/offset table though :)

I am not surprised. I got sick in 2014 and spent a summer implementing OpenPGP from scratch. It is _extremely_ ugly. If I was Google I would make something better and push that, instead of spending tearful days implementing the really bad specification that is RFC4880.

I coded a simulation here if that helps: https://gist.github.com/bjornedstrom/971574557b6f3179db08350...

That doesn't seem like a good example at all.

Instead of /persons/23/edit, maybe POST /person/23

Instead of /persons/77/delete, maybe DELETE /person/23

Just a guess, but it could be that interest in the standard has died down a little bit as an updated OpenPGP RFC is in progress.

Anecdote time: In the summer of 2014 I got a bad case of Mononucleosis and decided to implement OpenPGP from scratch. By modern standards, OpenPGP is fairly horrible and as soon as I got an excuse to postpone this project (the new RFC) I did so. :)

Cool :)

Are you travelling? Because my domain blog.bjrn.se is simply a CNAME to blogspot. They have some weird redirection thing going on so if I visit their website I will get redirected to the local version, which always confuses me (as I often travel).
