Zero-knowledge proof is a big thing in modern cryptography. Here's a post on how to start playing with it right now, without deep and thorough research. Don't expect deep understanding after it, but code samples and further reading links are truly valuable.

Can't say this one is hardcore, but it's certainly not a light read. On ZKRP (Zero-Knowledge Range Proof). The idea is simple: prove to someone that some number of yours is from a particular interval, without revealing the number itself. They list a number of applications, a bunch of different approaches, plus links to the original works to dig deeper.

Turns out this story is rather well known, but I've just discovered it. It's about the problem with block ciphers when you need to encrypt more data than a single block fit.

Intuition for Cryptography. An excellent high-level overview, can help you better understand some core basics.

Steganography is a method of concealing some information inside some harmless medium - image, audio, text, etc. In this post you'll find both historical intro and many intriguing links to various tools.

An attempt to try Moore's law on zero knowledge proofs. Main idea is that zkp production effectiveness grows too, but it happens in significant discreet jumps. So basically it's better to design your systems in a way that allows to swap proving schemes on the go.
