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

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!

ARMv8 CPUs can use any algorithm to encrypt the pointer authentication code. This CPU is built into a contact lens, with transparent indium tin oxide. Yield is low, so designers used a simple algorithm to minimize transistor count: the 1970-era DES. This is the first DES PAC ITO.

What is an ECDSA signature? It’s a pair of two integers/scalars (r,s). How hard did DER make it to parse two fucking integers? Well if there were a contest to make parsing two signatures as hard as it possibly fucking could, ECDSA signatures should win a prize...

You don't need a blockchain to build a trustless distributed system. xitter.cf/trailofbits/status/114…
Authenticated data structures enable trustless distributed systems, and they're easy to use with Indurative. blog.trailofbits.com/2019/06…

"Fuck RSA" from the @trailofbits cryptography team will see its first light of day at next week's @EmpireHacking. Don't miss it!
So incredibly lucky to have @japesinator give a talk at @nyutandon today! Much wow, many amaze! Thanks for coming out! #NYUTandonMade #OSIRIS

I want to compile a list of RSA-based failures. Send me the endless BB98 attacks, the exponent bugs, the related primes, the malicious composite numbers, and whatever else you can come up with!
