📚 Research Agendas for a Legacy-heavy Field: An effective research agenda must consider the slow deployment of new cryptography. abhi emphasized that advanced functionalities can be enabled for legacy/standardized cryptography, without waiting for bespoke schemes to grow.

abhi predicts this won’t change soon—BLS improves over ECDSA by ~25%, but efficiency alone isn’t enough to drive adoption.

🔑 The Curious Case of Pairing Based Cryptography: BLS signatures offer shorter signatures and advanced functionalities (multiparty and blind signing, aggregate verification), but adoption has been slow.

⚡ Transitioning: The advantages of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) over traditional RSA were clear—faster signing and smaller footprint in key and signature sizes. Yet, despite these benefits, it took well over a decade to go from standardization to ubiquitous deployment.

The talk also touched on context-specific concerns raised at the time such as whether public parameters (like the group order) should be standardized.

📜 Historical Context: abhi explored one historical transition point, the standardization of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA/DSS) by NIST in the 1990s. While conversations from then around patents, efficiency, and untested schemes persist in some form today.

Key insights from abhi shelat's session:. 🔍 Legacy Inertia: While most consumer technology has evolved rapidly, why are the cryptographic algorithms we use today from decades ago? abhi prompted us to reflect on the processes that determine which technologies enjoy wide reach.

His captivating talk, "Shackles of Legacy," explored why updates in cryptography take much longer to propagate widely than other forms of technology, and how research agendas can be framed to complement this tradition.
