This article, I'm not such a fan of because it's poorly written and doesn't really cover much.

In general, I'm a fan of having the average developer know something, and in general I want that "something" to be:

1. Here's some basics on how crypto works

2. Here's some basics on how it gets broken

3. Here's how you can screw up even with well-designed systems

4. Here are some solid things that will see you through if you use them correctly (plus how to use them correctly)

This article doesn't really do any of that.
