Implementing ZK-focused hash schemes
In my last post, I described the ZK-oriented Ciminion AE (Dobraunig et al., 2021) scheme and implemented it using the circom2 DSL for writing zkSNARK
NIST Announces First Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic Standards, PQC End of 3rd Evaluation Round
After a long process started in 2016, today NIST announced the first standardized cryptographic algorithms designed to protect IT systems against future quantum attacks. Here
GPG Memory Forensics
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and the open source implementation GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) are encryption solutions following the OpenPGP standard. Even if GPG has been
Practical bruteforce of AES-1024 military grade encryption
I recently presented work on the analysis of a file encryption solution that claimed to implement “AES-1024 military grade encryption“. Spoiler alert: I did not
Implementing a ZK-focused authenticated-encryption scheme
In the last few years, several practitioners have proposed zk-focused cryptographic constructions such as hashing and encryption primitives that operate on binary and prime fields
