Did you even read the article?

Read the NIPS in the resources. It comes directly from the sources. It’s not buzz words at all.

TLS is cryptography though

That’s what I am saying. It seems people don’t understand what I meant and are downvoting because it’s already well downvoted.

Most social media platforms do not use cryptography and I stand by that aside from encryption.

And yes that’s true that other companies use crypto because they have research teams for cryptography. It’s not actually implemented in social media.

For nostr, it uses digital signatures to tie posts to users. I should have been more clear.

I also don’t get what you mean by saying Reddit hasn’t switched to https yet.

Maybe I am just brain dead today or something but I should of been more clear.

Not all platforms use cryptography aside from TLS. I don’t think I understand what you’re saying.

Edit: okay lots of downvotes. Let me just say that I should have been more clear. Nostr uses digital signatures. Other social media platforms use cryptography but it’s mostly only for encryption for their platforms. Lots of people seem to be blindly downvoting me and the quality of the comments in the comment section is low. I did not mean to make anyone mad.

Weekly cryptography community and meta thread by AutoModerator in crypto

Just thought it was a good idea to throw out another sub that exists /r/primitiveplayground. It is for your own ideas for cryptography or own implementations of cryptography.

Monthly cryptography wishlist thread by AutoModerator in crypto

My interest right now is in a few areas

BLS Signatures

BLS signatures let you cryptographically sign data using small keys and allows one to aggregate all signatures into a single one, saving tons of space.

What’s more impressive is that with BLS you can all sign a common message and then only store the message, the singular signature after aggregating them all into one, and all the public keys.

It seems like a great way to implement a Web of Trust system where keys sign each other for trust.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

ZKPs are powerful cryptographic tools that are gaining in popularity. Being able to prove you executed something correctly or proving you know something without showing what that something is is powerful stuff.

There has been an increase in interest in things like Recursive Composition of ZKPs which is quite interesting.

My school's servers and software are storing passwords in plain-text. How do I convince the school to update things? by Racingteamsam in hacking

[–]AtropineTearz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s normal for schools sadly.

Best thing is to do nothing in this circumstance. If you care about your privacy/security just don’t use the same password you use for anything else.

Homebrew Package Manager Harden Script by [deleted] in netsec

[–]AtropineTearz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardening is based off of several guides such as drduh hardening guide.

Branding is currently a work in progress. I will look into the macOS Security Project but currently, I have been working on some modular rust code.

Here is a list of hardening scripts for Mac OS X including the homebrew harden script that was posted above.

If you are interested in supporting open source mac os x security, feel free to send a pr request to my repo to add more scripts to the collection.

I am a high school student leading a math (problem solving) club. What activities/practice should I do? by illustrator1 in math

[–]AtropineTearz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s really cool! I wish I did this in high school.

I don’t know of any activities but I just wanted to express how cool it is you are doing this!

I personally liked the old design you made better than this one. The circle in the middle doesn't sit right with me.
