BLS uses 96 bytes for pubkeys & 48 bytes for sigs. BLS can be ins. with 48 bytes of pubkey and 96 bytes of sigs. BLS also allows for sigg. aggregation, a single sig can authenticate multiple msg & pubkeys asecuritysite.com/circl/go_bls... datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/dra... #cryptography #bls #zk

I had a bug in my new ML-DSA implementation that caused Verify to reject all signatures. I gave up after half an hour. On a whim, I threw Claude Code at it. Surprisingly (to me!) it one-shotted it in 5 minutes. A small case study of useful AI tasks that aren't generating code that requires review.

Finding the k-th roots of unity of F_q is no different from finding the multiplicative subgroup of order k, if k divides q-1 rareskills.io/post/roots-of-…#FiniteFieldsd#numbertheoryry

happy bday poet John Berryman, b.1914 “We must travel in the direction of our fear.” “I cry. Evil dissolves, & love, like foam; that love. Prattle of children powers me home, my heart claps like the swan’s under a frenzy of who love me & who shine.” “That is our ‘pointed task. Love & die.”

Build intuition using analogies to reduce cognitive load. Learn to see and visualize the patterns, which makes offloading to the second brain easier. Keep practicing until it becomes an automated response. #patterns #learning #lifehacks

1/ I do not quote Camus because I am currently focused on Søren's Either/Or (Part 2) and Spinoza's Ethics. But it's also because the very act of me 'showing up against myself' is the very revolt Camus argues for.

1/ "The first thing which constitutes the actual being of a human Mind is nothing but the idea of a singular thing which actually exist." - P11: Ethics, Spinoza #Philosophy #Determinism #Rationalism

Excited to share eprint.iacr.org/2025/1905.pdf that re-envisions how to use folding/accumulation in succinct proof systems. We provide a new framework to build folding-based SNARKs by eliminating the need to prove Fiat-Shamir inside circuits and by introducing a high-arity lattice folding scheme.

I like privacy in its purest form. I like points and spaces. I like Go and I am learning cryptography. I try to be a symbol of resistance in front of the mirror. I strive to be a better person in real life. I am open to work. #job #golang

A bonding curve is a mathematical function that defines the relationship between a token’s supply and its price. In Pump.fun’s case, the curve works by increasing the token price exponentially as more tokens are bought using SOL.accelaratedcurve.substack.com/p/bonding-cu...ry#matht#bondingcurveve

Serious take: the solution to Safe Browsing false positives like the Immich one is passkeys. Phishing regularly upends people's lives. The Safe Browsing cat-and-mouse with all its opaque false positives will be necessary until we roll out phishing-resistant auth.

1/ My list of top 5 #privacy first and #open-source apps that come native or ship with Parrot OS by default: 1) AnonSurf: Route all sys traffic thru Tor and mask your IP. 2) Tor Browser: Browse safely, suppress trackers and isolate sites.

1/ mod math example: Prime modulus: p = 101 Notation: a ≡ b mod p <- 101 divides a - b 2 integers are the same "mod 101" if they have the same remainder when divided by 101. 170 ≡ x mod 101 -> 170 - 101 = 69 so 170 ≡ 69 (mod 101) #math #numbertheory

1/ "One chooses oneself, not in one's immediacy, not as this contingent individual, one chooses oneself in one's eternal validity." -from Judge Vilhelm's letters in Either/Or (pt. 2), Søren Kierkegaard #Existentialism

Woo!! Coral goes to S&P! eprint.iacr.org/2025/1420 Coral is an amazing system to check over ZKP that a document conforms to a grammar (JSON, C, TOML). Super happy with this work and the amazing work of all the co-authors!

This formula is an integral part of my learning journey. It shows that multiplying a bunch of 'commitments' together is the same as adding up their hidden contents inside the exponent.

1/ "From the laws of his own nature, everyone necessarily wants, or is repelled by, what he judges to be good or evil." - P19: Ethics, Spinoza

The person who lives ethically will try to choose his place rightly, but if he notices that he has chosen wrongly, or that obstacles arise over which he has no control, he does not lose courage for he never surrenders his sovereignty over himself.

1/ A linear transformation always keeps the origin (0,0) fixed. Think of rotating an object around its center or scaling it from its center. The center point doesn't move. All linear transformations can be repres. by a simple matrix multiplication: `new_vector = M * old_vector`

For there he stands, the emissary from the kingdom of sighs, the elected favorite of suffering, the apostle of sorrow, the silent friend of pain, the unhappy lover of memory, confounded in his memory by the light of hope, deceived in his hope by the shadows of memory.
