My 2,000th Blog Post on Medium

That’s one a day for five years!

Here are the blog posts [here].

If I estimate that I have spent around 30 minutes on each article — I think I have spend around 1,000 hours (41.67 days) writing articles over the past five years. And, I don’t regret a single second of my time. For my teaching, I lecture up to 200 students in a year, but through a blog, I can reach over 1 million people a year.

Why do I write?

Well, I love my research and teaching area — especially cryptography — and I offer others the chance to see the beauty that I see. In cybersecurity, too, we are often not very good at engaging with others outside our field, and we end up with dull and boring articles about the latest threats that have been dumbed down to the level of a slug or just full of jargon and acronyms.

Overall, I work in an amazing and dynamic field, and every day, new things are discovered. We help secure our world more than possibly anything else, but still, we struggle to tell people about what it is we do, and why it is so special. And, so, I write for these reasons, along with it helping me layout fairly complex things — such as cryptography — in an easier-to-understand way. It, too, documents a timeline of events — and what happened, and when.

The Invisible Man

In 2017, I twice managed to get myself removed from LinkedIn for over a week. People wondered what had happened to me. And, so how did this happen? Well, it was because a few of my LinkedIn posts became too popular and LinkedIn thought I was a bot —note: I appreciate that some people actually think I am a bot, but I can assure you I am not.

At first, I wondered if the NSA had contacted LinkedIn and asked that my blog posts be taken offline — as I was posting things that breached national security. For someone in cybersecurity, this can be a common feeling, as you just don’t know that you may have said something that someone thinks is a threat to national security. But, after quite a delay, they finally got in contact with me, and, after many delayed messages, they admitted that I had triggered their bot detector threshold. and reinstated my profile.

And, so, I was then worried that all of my articles would be lost, but, luckily, they were all recovered — and I did exist again in LinkedIn space.

My first Medium article

I had, though, been struggling to post articles on LinkedIn as the formating was not nice at all. It was difficult to archive these posts, and where LinkedIn basically owned the content of the posting. The search facility was also poor, and where I had to use Google to find previous articles.

And, so, on 5 April 2018, I decided to move my main blog posts away from LinkedIn, I published:

Why? Because it was John Napier’s birthday, and I do discrete logs! I also published it on LinkedIn — just to be safe. On 1 April 2019, I eventually wrote about becoming the invisible man on LinkedIn [here]:

And, so, I have had a bit of fun along the way, and where I tricked quite a few people into thinking this was real [here]:

Some media outlets even picked it up, and contacted me, but I had to admit to my little trick. But for many, the article seemed believable at first:

If you are interested, I get between 1K and 4K reads per day (and an average of around 2K reads per day), and between 60K and 80K reads per month. This equates to around one million reads in a year:

With a click of a link, I can download the complete HTML of my article, and where I can then move it to another platform, and not be locked-in like LinkedIn (sorry this sounds like jingle!).

An article a day

And, so, I think that is 1,991 days in total, and which is 1.0045 pages per day — and in plain terms: one post per day. Why? Because it’s a bit like a diary of my thoughts on a specific day or what I see in the news — it also allows me to quickly find a method that I have written about in the past. Typically, I will draft something for a new cryptography method for ASecuritySite.com, and then try to write it up properly in a form that others can understand.

And, so, here are all the articles (note: some of these are paywalled — please contact me if you want them unpaywalled) [here]:

Conclusions

In a world of ChatGPT, we need human voices. People with a vision. People with passion. People with a belief in building a better world.

And, so, go write … and get others in the amazing world cybersecurity and cryptography. To me, I write best early in the morning — as my mind is fresh with ideas, but find the best time for you, and just write about the things you care about.
