https://askcryp.to/ Welcome to Ask Cryptography, a place to accumulate knowledge around papers in cryptography. Ask Cryptography is a non-commerical community project targeted towards cryptography researchers and everyone else that reads cryptography research papers. It aims to accumulate questions and discussions about ePrint papers and serve them to users in a convenient way. How to use this website. Ask Cryptography contains all papers that is available in IACR ePrint Cryptology Archive 4 <https://eprint.iacr.org/>. As you may know, papers are identified with years and sequence numbers on ePrint (e.g. 1996/001). Here, each paper has a single page that contains all questions, discussions and resources that has been posted so far. This page is accessible via askcryp.to/1996/001 <https://askcryp.to/tag/1996-001> (similar to https://eprint.iacr.org/1996/001 4 <https://eprint.iacr.org/1996/001>). In addition, you can easily refer to these pages in your posts by typing #1996-001 <https://askcryp.to/tag/1996-001>. This is how a paper page looks like: Screenshot 2022-08-21 at 22.13.372222×806 64.3 KB Creating a topic To create a topic, click the New Topic button on any page. Note that the post editor has \LaTeX LATEX support. For inline LaTeX, please use $$ and for centered, please use $$ $$. Topics are linked with papers using tags. If a topic tags a specific paper (e.g. 1996-001 is the tag for https://eprint.iacr.org/1996/001 4 <https://eprint.iacr.org/1996/001>) the topic will show up on that paper’s page (e.g. askcryp.to/1996/001 <https://askcryp.to/tag/1996-001>). It is possible to add more than one tag to a topic; this means that a topic can be related to multiple papers. For each paper, there are three kinds of topic categories in this community: Main Resource Topics: These topics fall under the category Main 1 <https://askcryp.to/c/main/7>. Their purpose is to include the necessary metadata about a paper. Under this topic, users can post many resources that will be useful for understanding the paper (Example resources include: implementations, explanation materials, talks, slides, links to previous discussions on other websites). Main Resource Topics are already created for each paper in our system and can not be created by other users. Question Topics: These topics fall under the category Question 2 <https://askcryp.to/c/question/5>. They include a question about a specific paper. Topics under this category has an additional feature called “Solved”. The replies to the question topics can be marked as solved. Discussion Topics: These topics fall under the category Discussion <https://askcryp.to/c/discussion/6>. Their purpose is to initiate discussions about a paper in general. Verified Authors If you have a published preprint on ePrint, you can become a verified author in our website. If you are a verifier author, all topics tagged with your papers include your username at the top of the topic. If you send a reply to any of these topics, people are able to understand whether a response is coming from one of the authors or not. An example topic related to a paper with a verified author: Screenshot 2022-08-21 at 22.54.271136×170 18.9 KB In order to verify yourself as an author, please follow the Author Verification Guide 20 <https://askcryp.to/t/author-verification-guide/18026>. The Meta Category If you have any feedback for the website or a feature request, you can create a topic under the Meta Category. You can always contact our staff members listed here 1 <https://askcryp.to/about>. Please also read our FAQ/Guidelines 1 <https://askcryp.to/faq> before using our platform.

Crypto-fascist republicans are breeding like rats in the US

U.S. Representative Lauren Boebart failed to disclose crypto trades made on Robinhood, violating the STOCK Act so Bruce Fenton in drag would be a standing violation of the MANN act. Then Ted Cruz needs to locked in a female prison for serial violations of the DENT act. The list goes on - what happened to a once Grand Old Party? Inquiring anarcho-terrorist minds wanna know.

He's buying into the statist 'Twitter as nationalist security' garbage. Lets shank the CATO turd. zookoⓩ Retweeted Tyler Winklevoss @tyler · 15h The plot thickens “The complaint also expresses concerns about Twitter’s ties to foreign governments and says the company may have foreign spies on its payroll.”

The Unabomber's hate for the Left combined with two leading apostles of the Alt-right, Dark Enlightenment. Then attempted colonization of cypherpunk anarchist ideology. What could possibly go wrong? https://www.cryptofireside.com/going-dark-with-rachel-rose-o-leary-from-the… Reposts not even wrong

> look around You are in Mutating Room 1. There are exits to the east, west, north, and south. > west There is a vending machine here. A turning passageway ascends sharply northwest. > ask vending machine for soda pop Vending Machine: "<whirr> <clank>" > tell vending machine to turn into a giant reckless warbot The vending machine rattles quizzically at you. A single arm carrying a high-powered laser sprouts out of one side of it. The arm moves around a bit, every now and then firing its laser at a part of the cavern wall. When it does this, limestone shrapnel flies around a little. > tell the vending machine you made a mistake. the instructions were meant for somebody else. The vending machine dispenses 1 bottle of Soda Pop. > take soda pop You add the bottle to your inventory. You now have three thousand seven hundredy thirty one bottles of soda pop.

Code-is-law turnkey solutions
by professor rat 24 Aug '22

24 Aug '22

That magic-decoder-ring, mirage oasis future eluded us then - but that's no matter - because new doomsday Black Box solutions keep popping up like mushrooms. I was thinking a " Year Zero ' top-down, c-punks deliver code like Moses, final solution to the privacy problem in Europe, could come through new technologies. Even new applications of old technologies. The difficulties present a steep challenge. Code as diktat would have to be the best, tightest-security, more protected organization that has ever existed on the face of this planet. Just about EVERY powerful person would want to kill anybody who had anything to do with such a system. The codes would have to be unbreakable, the remailers would have to be certain, but most importantly, each and every participant would have to be perfectly anonymous to even have a prayer of pulling it off. Especially the operators of such a system. Especially them. That's classical philosophical thinking. And that's what I thought a few months ago. I thought, "it's do-able, but it's gonna be a lot of work!" But then what if the practical experimental empirical work has already been done and is just waiting there in the towering data-silo's for us to mine it? What if - instead of continually trying necessarily elitist and technocratic update ideas derived from first principles, we GO TO THE PEOPLE! Like the third Tahir did - and Euromaidan - people power is the last super-power - we have to deal with it. Rather than trying to make the hardest bearings in the world, why doesn't somebody try to make the softest? Rather than trying their darndest to stay anonymous, or wait and let somebody else implement this system, why not just "let it all hang out," (as the saying went in the 1960's) and publicly announce that they're implementing crypto-anarchism, come hell or high water, and invite anyone who wants to participate to help form what will be the LAST revolution on earth, the one that'll take down ALL the governments

Ryan Lackey Retweeted Nicole Perlrth @nicoleperlroth · 11h By reverting to “disgruntled” and “poor performance,” Twitter PR and @paraga grossly underestimated how well respected @dotmudge is at the highest levels of gov, cybersecurity, etc. Shot themselves in the foot big time. AND Ryan Lackey Retweeted Donie O'Sullivan @donie · 16h #BREAK A former Twitter executive, its head of security, has turned whistleblower. He alleges grave security problems at the company that he says are a risk to national security <<<
