Congratulations for this great contribution towards not just the coder community but also for the non-coders. I went through your course and found it detailed yet easy to understand. I truly appreciate your work and I am sure that all this coming from one of the top contributors of freecodecamp community will surely be meaningful.
All the bestπŸ‘πŸ™Œ

I never understood why, I need to know this. I use it every day, but still, I never had the chance to get into something that required me to know how password hashing works, for example. Looking forward part 2, especially for the TLS part.
Thank you!

"Cryptography is often overlooked by many developers, but it's crucial for securing applications and data. From hashing and salting to understanding the importance of TLS configurations and key management, these concepts are foundational to building safe systems. Anyone else found themselves learning the hard way about cryptographic best practices?"
