I won a thing, y’all! I’d hoped to say a few words, which the format didn’t allow: 1/ xitter.cf/acm_ccs/status/9259082…

This has been a ridiculously fun and rewarding journey with @ShrNarayan @TomRittervg @MikeHommey @bhology @hovav @craigdissel @froydnj, many more at Mozilla and two who know better than to be on twitter (Tal Garfinkel and Sorin Lerner)

Dear RISC-V folks: By all means, please do standardize¹ 96 encodings for 2-byte instructions that mean “pop registers (including ra), add to sp, and return.” They will come in very handy.

The #classified payload of the #NROL91 launch a few hrs ago was observed by me near 4: 17 UTC from #Leiden, the Netherlands, in a partly cloudy sky, as a magn. +2.5 to +3 object.

It is neither “hypothetical” nor “imaginary” that HB 20 was specifically written to platform Holocaust denial. It’s in the legislative record!¹

finally read the 3rd-party audit released by the Twitter whistleblower & it's not so much whistleblowing as... a list of known issues?
still, wld be great if every platform had to do one & release the findings!
that's one of my suggestions in here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

This announcement is less exciting than we hoped since Wouter and Thomas beat us to the bullet by two weeks -- but here is our (independently discovered) attack on SIDH/SIKE. Core idea is the same as Castryck-Decru but from arbitrary starting curves.

I wrote a short note "Kani for beginners" to help explain the Castryck-Decru and Maino-Martindale attacks.

Dan once threatened to sue me and a set of colleagues (naming Github as a party in order to maximize costs) over a disagreement on author order and publication timing. This stuff is way out of bounds. Science cannot happen in that environment. 3/

Thrilled to share that I will be joining UTAustin @UTCompSci as an Assistant Prof in Fall'23. Many thanks to all who have supported me on this path!
I'm looking for grad students! Contact me if you're interested in secure systems, program verification or hardware-based security.

Security research is like whistleblowing.
Who exactly are we protecting when we try to define & constrain security research?
(Sweet summer children, attempt to lecture me on “responsible” at your peril)
Sick of bending over backwards to protect vendors instead of regulating them.
