Spending the week in beautiful Okinawa at the OIST workshop on isogeny-based cryptography

@LindellYehuda @badcryptobitch Yeah we have tons of interactive protocols and we don’t call them “MPC”. Sometimes in a paper we’ll say “technically this could be realized by general MPC” and then we call it by its actual name. Blind signatures. Threshold signatures. Oblivious Transfer. PSI. OPRF. OPE. Key

One step closer- mapping execution flow from the interactive distinguisher Z and finally understanding the dummy adversary

My mom told me a quote today that my grandmother used to say after she would sign up for every free giveaway under the sun - “you can’t win if you don’t play.” And I kind of love that mentality for trying something in the face of overwhelming possibility of failure - generally

Using AI to format existing text that I wrote and now having said AI carefully go back through the document and underline any sneaky text it wrote by itself 👿 😈 😈

Happy new year! One of my New Year’s resolutions this year is to finally finish my gentle introduction to writing proofs in UC, for myself as well.. if anyone is interested in reviewing/contributing, please let me know! 🙌

My @btcplusplus Taipei Recap Finally recovering from an intense three days! Huge thanks to @TempoHouseHQ for getting me to BTC++ Taipei and @PlanBTaiwanNode for bringing me into the BTC ecosystem. Before the event, I discovered @FrostsnapTech. I was immediately blown away by

Dear Bitcoin people: quantum computers aren’t coming tomorrow, you’re going to be just fine.

It’s just so painfully obvious when someone uses AI to rewrite something 🤦‍♀️

@apgox @chelseakomlo @kudinov_mikhail @blksresearch Lattice-based sigs are attractive because they may allow using protocols that improve efficiency and privacy similar to the Schnorr-world, like threshold/multi signatures, aggregate signatures and silent payments. Hash-based sigs don't even support efficient HD wallets.

@alexanderlee314 I want to flag something about the logical qubit chart and extrapolation here. Many of those "logical qubits" are distance-2 codes (2 physical qubits per logical qubit) — these can only detect errors, not correct them. The logical qubits needed for cryptanalysis require hundreds

I know I’m literally last to the party but I just installed Claude code and I can’t believe it took so long to create something like this 🤩

Perfect motivation for robustness/guaranteed output delivery

DKG with a soundtrack

Incredible applied cryptography research from @chelseakomlo of NEAR ONE with @benediktbuenz (@NYU_Courant) and @ih5kevin (@SeoulNatlUni)! Dig into the details of the latest distributed key generation protocol below 👇

I write more about Golden and the motivation for this work here- really hope everyone enjoys and please let us know what you think!

I personally also love the name, which signifies both "silence is golden," as we reduce bandwidth overhead, but also is the hit song from KPop Demon Hunters, one of my favorite movies.
