I intend to work on some sort of self made storage protocol that will allow me to send data and save it to another machine over the internet, but haven't the faintest clue where to begin or how to code protocols?

does /prog/ have any internet resource for learning this type of thing?

why don't you use one that already exists? That way you can piggy back the encryption, rather than not having it, or reinventing something that can be broken easily?
