I am effectively a cryptography dilettante: I have a handful of publications despite zero formal instruction or tutelage in crypto of any kind. So you don't have to be part of academia to participate in an academic field, so long as the field mostly publishes online.

(edited to add "in crypto" above in case it wasn't clear, sorry)
