In Summer 2023, the @ZcashFoundation engaged @NCCGroupInfosec to conduct a security assessment of the Foundation’s FROST threshold signature implementation, based on the paper FROST: Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold Signatures. 👇 research.nccgroup.com/2023/10/23/pub…
Happy to announce that we have (finally) proven the adaptive security of FROST! See our recent publication "On the Adaptive Security of FROST" which was accepted to CRYPTO '25. eprint.iacr.org/2025/1061
Tim Ruffing (@real_or_random) and Jonas Nick (@n1ckler) posted to the mailing list a link to the current draft BIP for ChillDKG, which describes a distributed key generation protocol compatible with FROST scriptless threshold signatures for Bitcoin... bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters…
Always a big shock when basic research gets into troubles because it doesn't do enough profit @m_gdula @IDEAS_NCBR @piotrsankowski
Deeply concerned about the future of IDEAS NCBR, a pioneering AI research institute & newly approved ELLIS unit. International advisory board members, incl. Aleksander Mądry, have resigned after the sudden and unjustified replacement of its founding director. @donaldtuskEPP

#Mattarella: Quando la nostra #Costituzione parla di diritti, usa il verbo “riconoscere”. Significa che i diritti umani sono nati prima dello Stato. Ma, anche, che una democrazia si nutre, prima di tutto, della capacità di ascoltare. Occorre coraggio per ascoltare

Which latency numbers you should know? Please note those are not precise numbers. They are based on some online benchmarks (Jeff Dean’s latency numbers + some other sources). 🔹L1 and L2 caches: 1 ns, 10 ns E.g.: They are usually built onto the microprocessor chip. Unless you…
To no one's surprise, the Nobel Prize goes to Claudia Goldin Here are 3 things from her to start your dive into her work:
Compute continuum (CC) enables the enhancement of latency-sensitive and privacy-aware applications and services, without having to worry about how and where their components will be executed. But how to unleash the true potential of CC? Submit your contribution to this SI:
