Over the past three summers @a16zcrypto we've had 19 tremendous research interns. Want to be part of the summer '25 cohort? The application is open now, for full consideration apply by Nov 8. (Link in replies.)

Noemi Glaeser, chairing the first session of the day, introduces Ahmed Zawia, who is presenting the paper "ChronoCloak: An integrated Solution for Mitigating Premature Disclosure in Oblivious Digital Dissemination"

Excited to share my thoughts about on-chain PKI from last summer at @a16zcrypto! I compare 2 classic approaches & a new option: registration-based encryption a16zcrypto.com/posts/article… tl;dr RBE offers a new performance/trust/privacy tradeoff: more anonymity w/ less trust🧵👇(1/10)

Meet Noemi Glaeser @cryptonoemi, final-year PhD student at the University of Maryland and the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy. She is broadly interested in applied #cryptography, especially in designing provably secure protocols to solve practical problems and further user privacy. These interests have brought her into the world of blockchain research, where she has worked on analyzing coin mixing protocols, enabling fair on-chain voting, and designing threshold wallets. 👾

It’s being very difficult to follow all the discussions around the Chen24 attack here (almost as if this was not the right platform for that(!)). I propose to use the hashtag #eprint555 for all posts related. Thanks!
