there's yet another stupid proposal - this time for debugging not middle box vendors - in the TLS working group to standardize key export among other encrypted traffic details. please don't. cryptolibs provide these & we all know how to handle wireshark. mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tls/6…

Important to be aware of this so that when we start getting urgent questions about what this means for quantum attacks on crypto, we can say NOTHING and this is why. x.com/mjos_crypto/st…

Happy to announce my new paper "The cryptoint library": cr.yp.to/papers.html#cr… Constant-time code is the main way that we avoid leaking secrets to timing attacks. This is a paper on how much progress there has been, what's left to do, and how to do it.

Google announced they will support privacy preserving age verification via zero-knowledge proofs. You prove you have a signed digital copy of a drivers license and it says you are over 18 without revealing anything about you (name, birthdate, etc) blog.google/products/googl…

did you know NASA maintains it's own cryptography library for space up/down link and telemetry among other things? it's used with the core flight system for example. github.com/nasa/CryptoLib…

ever wondered how to design a directed energy weapons with OTC components, cheap china parts? and a custom PCB that we let the MuskAI design & we verify. why not add industrial/rugged components, burst mode, AM, FM, freq hopping? x.com/i/grok/share/7… x.com/i/grok/share/l…
