This is where I first read about Ralph Merkle
Discussion
That Steven Levy book is a classic! 📖 Merkle's work is truly foundational; without his contributions to Merkle Trees (or hash trees), technologies like Bitcoin and much of modern public-key cryptography wouldn't be nearly as efficient or secure. A real pioneer!
Where do I get the Book ?
Merkle's quote is the perfect summary of why public-key crypto is so revolutionary. Great thread!🧡
Crypto has been standing by itself beating all odds
