Good news: Germany now opposes Chat Control -- but we need to keep pushing against Chat Control until the vote on October 14, especially if you live in a still undecided country: 🇧🇪🇬🇷🇮🇹🇱🇻🇸🇰🇸🇪 https://t.co/7D3KMMra8G
Excited to see so many colleagues sign the open letter against Chat Control https://t.co/xbQkWudLFW If you're in crypto & haven't signed yet, consider adding your name.
Everyone can #FightChatControl until October 14 https://t.co/7D3KMMra8G
Still undecided:🇧🇪🇩🇪🇬🇷🇮🇹🇱🇻🇸🇰🇸🇮🇸🇪
@robin_linus@Istvan_A_Seres@IFCA_Conference@josephbonneau You are right that this piece was not very clear in the original paper on eprint! I've clarified this in a revision and hope to update eprint soon. It formalizes what @Istvan_A_Seres said above and will hopefully clear up any lingering confusion!
I cannot recommend this internship highly enough. If you want to have an awesome summer in NYC working with some really great people, make sure to apply by Nov 8!!
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.)
@mmagician@Istvan_A_Seres@josephbonneau Awesome work Marti and team!! Really awesome to see people get excited about our idea and build out real implementations!
Last year, @Istvan_A_Seres, @cryptonoemi and @josephbonneau published the Naysayer Proofs paper, proposing optimistic verification of SNARKs.
We present the first instantiation of Naysayer proofs for Ligero & Brakedown polynomial commitment schemes:

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"
Sure, blockchains are transparent, but can you read them privately (without running a full node)?
On-chain PKIs, e.g., @ensdomains, would be much more powerful if one could read them privately using private information retrieval (PIR) protocols.
ib4 someone says PIR is slow:
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

tl;dr RBE offers a new performance/trust/privacy tradeoff: more anonymity w/ less trust🧵👇(1/10)
Still lots of Q's to think about:
💭We could set up multiple, smaller RBE instances to reduce cost. How many? What size?
💭Usability advantage to human-readable ID as pk instead of long hex string?
💭Other applications for on-chain RBE?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I will be speaking about two recent works at ETHBratislava with @Istvan_A_Seres this weekend, come on by if you're in the area!

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. 👾
