    I took a cryptography class in 2011 from the college I went to, as part of their software engineering department. I thought it was interesting, though I haven't done much practical with it.

    I've been interested in the subject since I was in High-School, and I thought up, but didn't write till later, an encryption system that is... well, it's a bit of a monster. I only ended up writing it after the topic came up in discussion with my fiance, and she said "make it"... so I did. Back when I thought up the idea, I had already realized one of the biggest vulnerabilities to encryption is pattern recognition, and I thought up something to fight that problem.

    Picture this... Use an index of keys and switch keys between each block in a non-cyclic patern. I wrote a working prototype of the idea and put it out on my GitHub under the project name "Vizini Encryption". There's been some improvments that we've thought up but haven't implemented yet.

    That sounds interesting.
    I'm not the most knowledgeable about the inner workings of encryption algorithms, but I know how to use them when developing softare. It's one of those things I think it would be good if I understood a bit better. :)
