Do you know that meme of Homer Simpson hiding in the bushes? That's how I would feel when my coworkers would discuss asymmetric encryption, certificate signing, salting, and scary-sounding acronyms like PBKDF2. After years of trying to ignore this problem, I decided to do something about it. I researched Node.js' built-in \`crypto\` module and studied what each function does, what underling security best-practice it's based on, and when to use it. So if you're like me then step out of the bushes, and join me to learn the fundamentals of protecting information in a practical way with Node.js.
