Our paper on our crypto-agnostic consensus protocol Juggernaut was accepted at Eurocrypt 2025! Check out Yuval's thread and our paper for more details.
Imma makin twitter threads now I guess. New paper! With @jovan_komatovic @dcol97. Juggernaut is a protocol that enjoys all the benefits that cryptography offers to consensus, while remaining secure even if this crpytography is broken! (1/n) eprint.iacr.org/2024/1601

I had hoped that the EU was going to abandon its plans for mass content scanning. But apparently the EU Presidency has made some meaningless changes, and now the bill looks set to pass in June. netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/20…

The full version of our paper on post-quantum X3DH key exchange, accepted at USENIX Security 2024, is now online! Our protocol K-Waay uses a Frodo key exchange-based split-KEM rather than ring signatures and is therefore very fast. ia.cr/2024/120 @KhanhCrypto @SVaudenay
