Happy birthday, Sam, and best of luck in the new job!

Happy new year, and happy genesis block day. First things first, a bit of unfinished business from what was genuinely a historic day in December's Congressional Hearings on digital assets: immutablerecord.com/statemen…

Can't tell you how honored I am that Scott Stornetta and Stuart Haber, inventors of the blockchain, asked me for a quote for the press release announcing their collection of NFTs! This one goes in the scrapbook! dailyhodl.com/2021/10/13/ear…

I'm eagerly looking forward to my chat with the other blockchain Stuart. But don't forget the other "most cited author", my coauthor and partner Scott Stornetta, @strangethingitl.

Of course not! Pascal wrote "I made this longer only because I didn't have the time to make it shorter" (my translation). Since then it's been attributed to many others: quoteinvestigator.com/2012/0….

It turns out that writing 100 words is not easier than writing 250 words.

The surprising power of Endor's Social Physics based engine is the high quality of its predictions, even when the underlying data elements are encrypted.

There are better ways to handle redaction, using cryptographic tools: scholar.google.com/scholar?q…. I especially like the papers that mention the fact that most of these tricks also handle time-stamps (recently AKA writing to a blockchain).

Manafort's legal teams redaction was to place black bars over the text in a PDF. You can still highlight the text in the PDF and copy & paste to another document to view. #OpSecFail

Some healthy paranoia for Christmas week. Thanks, Perry!
I finally realized one of the things that bugs me about most security "certifications" out there. Computer security is warfare. No, really, it's war. There's an opponent who doesn't care about you, doesn't play by the rules, and wants to screw you as fully as possible. 1/
