det-keygen: add RSA deterministic key generation by FiloSottile · Pull Request #197 · C2SP/C2SP Community Cryptography Specification Project. Contribute to C2SP/C2SP development by creating an account on GitHub.

I have written self-tests for the Python test generator and added tests to the Go tests.

Folks, I can confirm we got all the edge cases! 💥 🥳

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to the > 8,500(!) cores. I would like to credit you, so either reply or DM me your name/handle, if you'd like.

people are always talking about a hypothetical technologically advanced alien race ... but I always wonder, if they exist, do they also have to deal with PKI?

look at the size of this bun 🐇 just learned they can get this big (and larger)

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Tom Lehrer wasn't just a satirist or a musician.

He as a comedian who could quietly tell a joke and wait more than SIXTY YEARS for the payoff.

That's dedication to craft.

We lost an icon.

In 2022, a local #alamtg activist named Rasheed Shabazz was asking around on twitter about digitizing meeting minutes and monthly reports from local organizations as part of his ongoing research into the racial history of Alameda.

I was literally spinning up LA County as the fires started, and it just finished and pushed today.

We'd love someone to dig into fire prevention and land use policy around what happened here

Galaxy Brain is excited to announce that we are partnering with @techtonica.bsky.social, a US-based nonprofit helping women and nonbinary adults seeking economic empowerment overcome barriers to technical careers.

My absolutely lukewarm take of the day is that more organizations should hire librarians

Okay, so: the other day I wrote a thread on "you should have rules that ban off-platform harassment". Well, given the latest thread from @safety.bsky.app, I wanted to do a short follow-up to that to talk in more detail about *why* you need policies like that.

*designing cryptographic protocols* yeah nah, feeling pretty chill, gonna get cozy and figure out how to structure this key tree

*trying to parse a QR code from a webcam* what the fuck is this black magic, how do people do this

A chart of quantum computing comparing number of qubits to error rate. This is a very visual chart and is better explained in text on my website.

2024 update for my chart on the landscape of quantum computing: sam-jaques.appspot.com/quantum_land...

Not much visible on the chart, but Google's result (the one with the recent press attention) is a pretty big deal

the talk went well. ✨

Argh, I am fully awake at 7:00am. 😐

If you are at #asiacrypt2024, please come to my talk at 9:00am in Track 2 on "Robust AE With Committing Security" (w/ Viet Tung Hoang). If you are a keener and want to read the paper first: eprint.iacr.org/2024/1542

#Asiacrypt2024 is almost here. As someone who was born and raised in Kolkata, I decided to provide some unofficial updates/tips and will post them as they come into my mind. Folks, especially who are coming from outside the sub-continent, might find these useful.

The stage at the asiacrypt2024 best paper session for paper “Revisiting Key Decomposition Techniques for FHE: Simpler, Faster and More Generic”. The presenter Nicolas Gama is at the middle of the stage and the slide shows a quiz on torus approximate arithmetic. This was after the talk explained torus arithmetic.

Eyy, I now know everything I needed to know about about the torus. #asiacrypt2024

Today in the US is #SmallBusinessSaturday, a day for folks to use their dollars to support small businesses instead of megacorps.

If you're looking for ways to vote with your dollars for the world we want, I run two small businesses that are aligned with the values of folks I see here.

Imagining Private Airspaces for Bluesky - Dhole Moments Recently, I shared my thoughts on the Twitter Exodus. The short of that post is: Even though I’m quite happy on the Fediverse, I think the best outcome is for Bluesky to “win” the…

How Bluesky could implement Limited Audiences / Non-Public Content and private, end-to-end encrypted protocol-native DMs using existing cryptography:

This is my new response when my faculty advisor asks how my research project is going.

Un personnage tient dans sa main une lumière qui brille

A celleux qui nous tiennent la main.
A celleux qui nous l'ont lâchée,
A celleux qui firent nos joies,
qu'on aurait aimé voir continuer.

I’m at #CSCW2024, which feels like the right place to use Bluesky for the first time! I’m recruiting PhD students to UW HCDE who want to think about digital safety from a sociotechnical lens.
