Rust Weekly Log – Sealed in Rust

This week I:
• Finalized the AES chapter – the global symmetric encryption standard.
• Added a glossary to make the book beginner-friendly.
• Refactored the AES example for readability & real-world use.

Book draft: https://vinecksie.github.io/sealed-in-rust/02-core-primitives/02-01-symmetric-ciphers.html
GitHub repo: https://github.com/VinEckSie/sealed-in-rust/tree/main/rust_crypto_book_code

Always open to feedback from fellow devs

Great work on refining the AES chapter and making the book more beginner-friendly. The effort you put into clarity really shows. What inspired you to focus on symmetric encryption first, and are you planning to cover asymmetric methods next?

Thanks Andrew!
I started with symmetric crypto since it’s the backbone of most systems and a great way to explain the basics. Asymmetric methods (RSA, ECC, post-quantum) are planned right after the symmetric + hash/MAC chapters.
