Modern encryption standards really aren’t too bad to understand!
OKCupid Co-Founder Max Krohn Believes People Are Ready to Love Encryption
Encryption has always been good, the problem is that it’s never been easy.
Advanced Encryption Standard
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known by its original name Rijndael, is a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001.

Let’s talk about encrypted reasoning
This is a quick post I wanted to write about a hobby project I spent a weekend on. It has little to do with real cryptography, and mostly doesn’t expose a particularly exciting vulnerability.…
Let’s talk about AI and end-to-end encryption
Recently I came across a fantastic new paper by a group of NYU and Cornell researchers entitled “How to think about end-to-end encryption and AI.” I’m extremely grateful to see th…
We Shouldn’t Wait Another Fifteen Years for a Conversation About
With high-profile hacks in the headlines and government officials trying to reopen a long-settled debate about encryption, information security has become a mainstream issue. But we feel that one

A Digital Signature Based on a Conventional Encryption Function
A new digital signature based only on a conventional encryption function (such as DES) is described which is as secure as the underlying encryption function -- the security does not depend on the difficulty of factoring and the high computational costs of modular arithmetic are avoided. The signature system can sign an unlimited number of messages, and the signature size increases logarithmically as a function of the number of messages signed. Signature size in a ‘typical’ system might range from a few hundred bytes to a few kilobytes, and generation of a signature might require a few hundred to a few thousand computations of the underlying conventional encryption function.
