Research direction

Start with the page in 02-foundations/04-crypto-principles and review its current content alongside the linked ASVS v5 source. Update the page so users are directed to reliable, current sources for present-day cryptography; the work is done when the guidance no longer depends on static information that will quickly become outdated.
