Alla luce delle recenti dichiarazioni chiederei al ministro israeliano di definire "miniera d'oro", possibilmente evidenziando differenze rispetto a "teatro di crimini contro l'umanità". Agghiacciante #Gaza
Happy to announce that we have (finally) proven the adaptive security of FROST! See our recent publication "On the Adaptive Security of FROST" which was accepted to CRYPTO '25.

Tim Ruffing (@real_or_random) and Jonas Nick (@n1ckler) posted to the mailing list a link to the current draft BIP for ChillDKG, which describes a distributed key generation protocol compatible with FROST scriptless threshold signatures for Bitcoin...

Congratulations to Amanda Randles on being named an ACM Distinguished Member for 2023!
Amanda attended the 1st HLF in 2013 – it is amazing how far her career has come in the last 10 years!
#Mattarella: Quando la nostra #Costituzione parla di diritti, usa il verbo “riconoscere”.
Significa che i diritti umani sono nati prima dello Stato. Ma, anche, che una democrazia si nutre, prima di tutto, della capacità di ascoltare.
Occorre coraggio per ascoltare
Which latency numbers you should know?
Please note those are not precise numbers. They are based on some online benchmarks (Jeff Dean’s latency numbers + some other sources).
🔹L1 and L2 caches: 1 ns, 10 ns
E.g.: They are usually built onto the microprocessor chip. Unless you work with hardware directly, you probably don’t need to worry about them.
🔹RAM access: 100 ns
E.g.: It takes around 100 ns to read data from memory. Redis is an in-memory data store, so it takes about 100 ns to read data from Redis.
🔹Send 1K bytes over 1 Gbps network: 10 us
E.g.: It takes around 10 us to send 1KB of data from Memcached through the network.
🔹Read from SSD: 100 us
E.g.: RocksDB is a disk-based K/V store, so the read latency is around 100 us on SSD.
🔹Database insert operation: 1 ms.
E.g.: Postgresql commit might take 1ms. The database needs to store the data, create the index, and flush logs. All these actions take time.
🔹Send packet CA->Netherlands->CA: 100 ms
E.g.: If we have a long-distance Zoom call, the latency might be around 100 ms.
🔹Retry/refresh internal: 1-10s
E.g: In a monitoring system, the refresh interval is usually set to 5~10 seconds (default value on Grafana).
Notes
-----
1 ns = 10^-9 seconds
1 us = 10^-6 seconds = 1,000 ns
1 ms = 10^-3 seconds = 1,000 us = 1,000,000 ns

In Summer 2023, the @ZcashFoundation engaged @NCCGroupInfosec to conduct a security assessment of the Foundation’s FROST threshold signature implementation, based on the paper FROST: Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold Signatures.

@Apple WiFi stopped working after upgrading to #MacOs#Sonoma 14. The customer care formatted by MacBook without solving the problem. They estimated 860€ to change the motherboard to maybe solve the issue. Very very disappointed!
@Apple very bad experience after upgrading to #Sonoma@macOS 14. WiFi stopped working. For the customer care is a hardware problem. To fix, the motherboard should be replaced with a cost of 850+€. Very disappointed.

Compute continuum (CC) enables the enhancement of latency-sensitive and privacy-aware applications and services, without having to worry about how and where their components will be executed. But how to unleash the true potential of CC?
