I'm thrilled to announce that after months of intensive work, the complete materials for my Applied Cryptography course at @AUB_Lebanon are now finished: both Part 1 (Provable Security) and Part 2 (Real-World Cryptography)!. The scale of this project is, for me, unprecedented:.

Took clips of @AUB_Lebanon Commencement Ceremony! It was glorious. We sang the Lebanese Anthem, then @DrFadloKhuri started rapping Eminem's Lose Yourself. On the surface it's funny, but it signals a commitment to transgressive free intellectual expression.

Very grateful for a fantastic first week teaching applied cryptography at the American University of Beirut!!! Great faculty, great students (55+!), and a wonderful institution all working towards spreading a new field in a community that's full of potential!.

I made a fun little interactive page that explains how Diffie-Hellman works, and what small subgroup attacks are (i.e. why you need a prime order finite field), using clocks:
appliedcryptography.page
Explore an interactive demonstration of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange using clock arithmetic to visualize modular exponentiation and cryptographic concepts.

I recently built a microservice called "CedarNode" that instantiates a custom web server for my applied cryptography course website. The service monitors a Git repository, verifies commit signatures, selectively compiles LaTeX documents, and serves the resulting website, all.
