▲ 10 ▼ A Brief Tour of Practical Crypto in Go
Go offers a rich collection of packages supporting cryptographic operations. From a beginner’s perspective, maybe too many offerings! I offer up an overview of what’s available and an introduction to some practical uses of cryptography in Go. Implementation details are always critical when discussing crypto. We’ll discuss some general implications of making poor choices and how such choices can completely undermine any uses of these tools.

I edited the title to make this a little clearer than just crypto 101. Also see this video on practical crypto in go with an overview from George Tankersley, which has recommendations for algorithms to use and some sample code.
