Resources

Okay, so not all of the files/links here directly relate to cryptography, but they are certainly semi-related. Just ignore what you don't care to read. If you have any files or links that you'd like to see here, send an e-mail to jacob.sheehy@gmail.com and the items will be considered. Please send anything you might have; we're here to collect these resources and make them available to all. Also, keep in mind that the list is nearly always expanding, so check back every once and a while for new material!

For an explanation of the units used on this page (and perhaps other parts of the website), check out this Wikepedia article, which explains the whole situation quite nicely.
