Implementing RSA, AES-GCM, and a TLS 1.3 Handshake from Scratch in Python

A deep-dive into the full cryptographic stack powering every HTTPS connection — RSA-OAEP, AES-GCM, ECDHE key exchange, and a working TLS 1.3 handshake simulation, all built in pure Python from first principles.

RSA Part 3: Your Correct Implementation Still Leaks the Key

Key generation works, encryption round-trips, the math is provably right — and an attacker can still recover the private key by timing your decryptions. Here are both defenses, measured, with what they actually cost.
