I love this. In my college library there's a row of books on mathematics,
a single shelf unit on computer science (system admin, SQL, the works),
a shelf on cryptography
most books on RSA
two books on ECC
and ONE single book on essoteric protocols, and it's this one (not this edition)
covers things like blind signing, dining cryptographers, homomorphic encryption, zero knowledge proofs,
all before the whole bitcoin thing got annoying.
bring back cool cryptography
(blind ECC is annoyingly hard to explain)

More research, more innovative ideas, for ex zero knowledge proofs have been getting a lot of traction because of ETH etc. though I think it was discovered before cryptocurrencies.
