Insights on cryptography, cybersecurity, and my journey through PhD research.
A walkthrough of the full architecture for a dual-purpose home lab: a Windows-based reversing environment for static and dynamic malware analysis, running alongside a detection engineering stack on the same bare-metal server and feeding telemetry into Elastic SIEM.

My third week dives into probability, conditional distributions, and formal definitions of secrecy. I work through shift cipher examples, Bayes’ Theorem, and the rigorous proof...
My second week's dive into cryptography, exploring the transition from classical ciphers to modern security. This post unpacks Kerckhoffs's Principle, attack models, and why mathematical...
An accessible introduction to key cryptographic concepts, covering encryption, decryption and the differences between symmetric and asymmetric schemes.
Reflections on transitioning into cryptography, exploring the need for rigorous security definitions and mathematical foundations.
