cloak and 🗡️ tech. clandestine comms + cryptography. Founder and dev of Katzenpost mixnet, the first post quantum decryption mixnet

which is why i am so glad that there's a research group under IRTF called "Human Rights Protocol Considerations". Mathematics doesn't automatically take the side of the people. We must carefully consider how the system's authority is distributed!

Today I got a cryptography fix from a Chinese cryptography at Peking University: https://t.co/nSOWvvzkI8

I still use emacs.

@ritualfnd Your paper which builds on my anonymity research "Towards Anonymous Neural Network Inference" deserves to be implemented, no? I'd really like to help out with that.

[david415 @david415]

@akileshpotti Are you interested in implementing the designs in your company's paper "Towards Anonymous Neural Network Inference"? Most of that paper reiterates my work on Katzenpost, from our echomix paper: https://t.co/GhLM7BGllR

[david415 @david415]

@NoahKingJr you really shouldn't use the word "trust" in security/privacy discussions. Instead specify a dependency or lack thereof thus forming an adjacency matrix.

[david415 @david415]

@LiaoPeiyuan Also it's odd that you restate so much of our design but somehow forgot to describe the courier service which is essential for our threat model.

[david415 @david415]

@LiaoPeiyuan I just now saw your paper "Towards Anonymous Neural Network Inference" which cites our work on mixnets and the Pigeonhole protocol. Do you have any questions for us?

[david415 @david415]

@LiaoPeiyuan The irony is that by restating so much of our work, your paper actually obscures its own contribution. A reader has to wade through pages of Echomix re-description to find what funion actually adds.

[david415 @david415]

If your software project already uses rust then why aren't you using the clatter crate? It's because you don't like privacy in the post quantum threat model. You might be a nihilist.

@paulbohm @steipete What do you mean fully specified? There are more Go games than people who ever lived.

@naomibrockwell counterpoint: if you run HardenedBSD on your desktop then your desktop is more secure than your GrapheneOS phone.

I'm doing my barbell strength training today at Elbgym in Hamburg and the equipment is very nice! Look at this Eleiko bar and plates!

What's your favorite story by Jorge Luis Borges?

[david415 @david415]

Dear friends and extended hacker community, I have moved to Valencia, Spain and I'm much happier here. Come visit me! The food is amazing and people besides me are very friendly.

[david415 @david415]

Pro tip: do NOT use a VPN to connect to Tor. Need me to elaborate as to why?

[david415 @david415]

@naomibrockwell Can you please elaborate why? in general all e-mail is bad and I care not for slightly less bad. at least gmail is free that's why i use it whilest developing the first post quantum mixnets.

@aravind GrapheneOS is a non-profit open source project and remaining that way. We aren't paying for any marketing and it's not becoming a business. Linus chose to review GrapheneOS based on using it as a daily driver for 30 days. How does this fairly positive review make it compromised?
