Objective
These works introduce the security patterns of Blockchain, SSH and SSL. The main goal is to briefly explain the underlying security basis of Blockchain, SSH and SSL; therefore providing basic knowledge about security in action.
Motivation
Security is essential, from the dawn of computers and networks until now. However, as the industry expands, security is embeded and supported in frameworks and low-level layers of the tech-stacks. As a consequence, many developers now are messing around the top-level level layers of the tech-stack, confident that the security issues are solved by frameworks and libraries, and place security in a black box.
Many security failures are due to the lack of knowledge about how the security mechanisms works. Even not many developers know how the most widely-used security technologies works under-the-hood.
Also, raising awareness in security fields for developers is nothing new. There are a plethora of 'security 101' all over the Internet. This works just summaries the basis of Blockchain, SSH ans SSL. If you are interested in security, poking around capture the flag (CTF) is a good start.
Benefit
Hopefully, this works may briefly explain the concepts of security and drag people to have a look at the under-the-hood securities of technologies.
