I've been seeing a lot of complaints that CVE-2020-0601 didn't have a fancy logo and website, so my colleagues @trailofbits and I did our best to pitch in. whosecurve.com/

RSVP before the entropy runs out
Next week is Real World Crypto 2020 right on @trailofbits's home turf, NYC. If you're in town and want to enjoy free food, drinks, and a venue brimming with high quality entropy come and join us on Thursday January 9 from 7-10pm at Prohibition: evite.me/S3NVbKZR8x

Before 2019 ends, I wanted to release my current research with @trailofbits: Umberto, a "poststructural fuzzer" built with fancy Haskell tricks. It lets you apply simple mutators (defined on numbers or strings) inside large structures (like xml entities) github.com/trailofbits/umber…

Related: contributing should be relatively easy, and I'm very open to PRs. Supporting JSON is ~one line of code, supporting your favorite format probably is as well.

Bonus: github.com/trailofbits/umber… is probably the craziest code I wrote this year. I can't hope to explain it in a tweet, but I'm working on a blog post that should be out soon.

if someone ever tries to tell you something "because godel" direct 'em to this paper. not only are most "popular" uses of "godel incompleteness" dead wrong, but it turns out, a good 2/3 of the "proper" uses of it make it out to be too strong as well.
The standard story is that Godel's second incompleteness theorem stopped Hilbert's program dead in its tracks, because one could not prove the consistency of PA within itself. But a lovely new paper from Artemov argues that this isn't what G2 proved at all! 1/2

This summer, I mentored @anneouyang while she did some incredible work rigorously analyzing CBC Casper. This kind of work is critical for broad adoption of proof of stake, and imo doesn't receive nearly as much attention as it should.

Is there anyone with an arxiv account that can endorse a @trailofbits employee for "cs.CR"? We have papers we want to publish. DM me, thanks!

RSA is the manual memory management of cryptography. Fun in the 20th century, but it's time to stop.
