Implementing a toy version of TLS 1.3

Implementing a toy version of TLS 1.3

Hello! Recently I've been thinking about how I find it fun to learn computer networking by implementing working versions of real network protocols. And it made me wonder - I've implemented toy versions of traceroute , TCP and DNS . What about TLS? Could I implement a toy version of that to learn more about how it works? I asked on Twitter if this would be hard, got some encouragement and pointers for where to start , so I decided to go for it. This was really fun and I learned a little more about how involved real cryptography is - thanks to cryptopals , I already 100% believed that I should n
