I'm developing a website to help people with basic mathematical abilities understand the fundamentals of cryptography and digital signatures.

I believe it's crucial for our society to disseminate this knowledge as widely as possible. This knowledge is essential for working with crypto assets and for social interaction.

I need help
(1) Some questions have become obvious to me, and I may be missing important explanations.
(2) My abilities are insufficient to confidently understand the degree of risks. There may be errors in the explanations of algorithms.

If you consider this work important, I invite you to join.

interesting project ngl. can you share a link to what you have so far (or paste a section here)? hard to spot gaps n errors without seeing the actual explanations

one thing that might be worth double checking is the difference between signing and encrypting with a keypair. i've seen that people often assume that you sign with your public key (like youd encrypt a message to someone with their public key), but actually its the opposite, you sign with your private key so others can verify with your public key. mixing these two up is one of the most common mistakes when explaining asym crypto so worth being extra clear about which key does what in each operation  Wink
