Spent my youth adding semicolons to make C happy. Spending my dotage removing semicolons to make Rust happy. Definitely getting rustier with age.

Hello, today we are disclosing two critical trusted-party vulnerabilities in the LayerZero smart contracts. These issues allow the LayerZero team to completely bypass the Oracle and Relayer for most applications (including stargate). prestwich.substack.com/p/zero-validat…

@CouteauGeoffroy @badcryptobitch The protocol in STOC 1996 took the first step, with an interactive protocol. Non-interactivity was always a desire, and an obvious one at that. “Anticipated,” yes. Sadly, LWE wasn’t yet in the crypto toolkit. So no, I didn’t achieve silent PCG, but the idea dates to 1995.

@CouteauGeoffroy @badcryptobitch The STOC 1996 paper coins the term “Correlated Pseudorandomness” in reference to PRGs. Here’s the grail I anticipated and set out to achieve in 1995. Without interacting - as though each had a fancy PRG - they locally expand their correlated inputs to longer correlated values.

Been trying to grasp the concept of PCGs (Pseudorandom Correlation Generators) recently and I still don't get them. However, I may have a few interesting spots where we can apply them to make certain cryptography areas more practical. 🧵

History Generation: a new property for decentralized randomness. Unlike DRAND and co, you only need the latest beacon to produce the whole history down to genesis, favoring light client constructions, i.e. for beacon streams in UDP games (lost packets). eprint.iacr.org/2021/1643

@BenCoxMusic I feel like I know less and less over time, so definitely converging on zero knowledge universe. It’s just also being done purposefully in the ledger world.
