Personification of the Three Virtues: Laziness, Impatience, Hubris. Research cryptographer. I make matrix group ciphertext only homomorphic cryptographic systems for fun, profit, and other reasons.
Even their barbers think these DOGE kids are assholes.

Here’s a trick those fat cats on Wall Street don’t know want you to know…. Entropy can be destroyed by setting a component value to zero.

The solution to making quantum resilient digital signatures came from Claude Shannon and the Non-Abelian Hidden Subgroup Problem using bilinear matrix groups. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions, I wrote the paper.

Australian Signals Directorate approve use of ML-DSA-65/87 until 2030 then only ML-DSA-87 from then on. Likewise ML-KEM-768/1024 until 2030 then only ML-KEM-1024 from then on.

Good news everyone, if this whole “post-quantum” signature scheme doesn’t work out, at least I invented a NIST approved PRF function!

Yesterday, Google announced that #Willow has reached 105 qubits. Should Bitcoiners worry?

Short Answer: No.

Current quantum capabilities (105 qubits) fall far short of what’s needed (over 1,000,000 qubits) to break ECDSA 256, and SHA-256 is even more secure. No need to worry now.

At this point, democrats have to concentrate on stopping the ones that will do the most damage.

Forget the distraction nominees. Focus on the serious threats.

Gaetz, Gabbard and Hegseth remain the most problematic.

The most important thing to know about Russian #disinformation / #misinformation campaigns is that the primary goal is not to achieve any specific objective. The primary purpose is to DEMORALIZE the target population. This is our zeitgeist.
