He is definitely the widest-read crypto dev. There can be no question of that.

Out of curiosity, who else is out there writing essay-length on crypto and security in general?

But he just retired from blogging about netsec and is done with the industry, I think (a lot of ppl get sick of it, I left the sec industry 10+ years ago and never looked back)
