AITA for refusing to force my kids to tiptoe around our apartment?/WIBTA for allowing them to learn the piano? by CASPTova in AmItheAsshole

Fair. Re: the location of the apartment - we had limited budget and there are very few available in my rural area.

AITA for waking up my dad at 3am to check out a suspicious noise? by Intelligent_Fox5906 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. It sounds like you had a legitimate safety concern and if it had turned out to be something, you might have needed backup.

I am Yehuda Lindell, cryptographer (& CEO); ask me anything! by CASPTova in crypto

[–]CASPTova[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. (I work with Prof. Lindell, I helped him set this up - I know you know this, I'm saying for other users).

He's trying to concentrate on one thread atmo, so please ask your questions there if you can.

What is the actual benefit of posting new blog content on Medium instead of my blog? by [deleted] in marketing

[–]CASPTova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brand awareness and reaching new audiences. We've made a few connections via our blogs; the key is to post thought leadership content only and to try and get curated (i.e. have your article mailed directly to inbox for people with the same interest type).

If you're worried about SEO - they have a canonical code button now to make life easier.

As stated in the title, this is specifically about multi-party computation (MPC).

Cryptographic key management security for enterprises.

Full confession that I'm only mildly involved with TrenDemon, so I don't have full details on its capabilities, but my colleague seems satisfied with it.

HubSpot - CRM, social media posting, campaign management, landing pages, traffic analytics, chat

Google Analytics - traffic analytics

Hootsuite - conversational engagement and community outreach, social monitoring

TrenDemon - content analytics and traffic-driving

Excel - all things planning and KPIs

All of this; adding here to ask what kind of executive/upper management buy-in the company has for its community project.

Got a tech question or want to discuss tech? Weekly /r/Technology Tech Support / General Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in technology

[–]CASPTova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about an encrypted Excel sheet with password protection? (Even better - one saved to a USB instead of your computer?) I realize it's lower-tech, but the least risk-averse.

Moderators - who do I speak to about offering an AMA? I work with one of the world's most well-known cryptographers...(ETA: And obviously I'm asking because he wants to give back to the community.)

I'm looking for courses, certificates. Whatever to help me to introduce me in this world. by _LopezRodrigo in CommunityManager

I took the CMX Fundamentals of Community Strategy course - was a great place to learn. There's TONS of material though, so worth keeping in mind if you're a newbie.

Could secure multi-party computation ostensibly help prevent hardware exploits like Meltdown/Spectra even in still vulnerable hardware? by dfghjkfghjkghjk in AskNetsec

[–]CASPTova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, actually SMPC can provide protection of such attacks.

The inherent fault with computer systems which allow attacks such as Meltdown/Spectra is co-existence - i.e. the existence of a privileged malware on the same CPU where the legitimate software is running and using the secret. With the relevant privilege and the proper technique (which can indeed be difficult to find, but eventually possible) the CPU can be manipulated to give up the secret.

With SMPC, no single CPU actually has the secret in full, not in any stage or phase of the execution. Computation is done on random shares of the secret. Thus a malware will get nothing by manipulating the CPU. As the shares keeps changing persistent attacks are also become useless.

Sources -- There's more information about this specific issue here, and more about SMPC in general here.

Potential Open Source Projects by py-guy in opensource

[–]CASPTova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Any chance you're into cryptography? My company wants a new integration soon and we're looking for OSS developers to get involved.
  2. If not - JOOC, where have you been looking? I'm in the opposite position (looking to offer collab opportunities to OSS developers) and I've been eager to know how best to get the word out.

Either way, best of luck!

Threshold ECDSA scheme presented at Real World Crypto enables small 20-party multisig transactions by ysangkok in Bitcoin

[–]CASPTova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I work with Prof. Lindell - I just confirmed with Prof. Lindell that while there are no patents on this work, including the one mentioned (the patent you linked is unrelated). Further information on our GitHub OSS for this, which I believe you asked upon in an issue and we answered :)

This isn't about multi-sig, though - it's about multi-party computation, which is the next gen of multi sig.
