I feel like if you get the title of Distinguished Engineer as a cryptographer, something has gone horribly wrong. #INDCCA

Cool minimal design. Love the speed. A small suggestion: you could repurpose the category badges at the top when writing into the search box and use them as filters, rather than hiding them.

A bit over two years after starting to work on it... Go is officially FIPS 140-3 certified 💥 csrc.nist.gov/projects/cry... I am pretty confident Go is now one of the most—if not the most—seamless and complete FIPS 140-3 compliance solutions... with a single env var, out of the box.

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

A Cryptography Engineer’s Perspective on Quantum Computing Timelines

The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.

I'm not really knowledgeable about UC, but I'd like to read some early drafts, if possible!

Using an age keyserver as a demo, this article demonstrates how to add a transparency log to a centralized service step-by-step. We use Tessera for the tlog, VRFs for privacy, and the Witness Network. It all takes just 500 lines to integrate! The result of years of work making tlogs accessible.

Building a Transparent Keyserver

We apply a transparency log to a centralized keyserver step-by-step, in less than 500 lines, with privacy protections, anti-poisoning, and witness cosigning.

One month ago, I earned my master's degree in cybersecurity. Working on my thesis was deeply rewarding, and I received a final grade that exceeded any expectations I had when I began this journey two years ago. Thank you to all the great people who make cryptography open and welcoming to anyone.

A photo of me standing on a sunlit brick walkway, wearing a black suit and white shirt, smiling, and topped with a laurel graduation wreath. I am holding a bouquet (blue hydrangeas and red roses) and a red diploma folder. In the background are grass, trees, a streetlight, and parked cars.

Hand holding a dark red hardbound master's thesis against a plain white wall, with gold-embossed logos and text on its cover. At the top, the cover shows Università degli Studi di Padova and Dipartimento di Matematica logos. In the middle, the title reads "Fuzzy Searchable Symmetric Encryption: Design and Implementation of a Novel Scheme Toward Real-World Applications." Below the title is written "Master Candidate: Simone Ragusa", "Supervisor: Prof. Nicola Laurenti", and "Academic Year 2024/2025".

The automatic removal of imports bothers me too at times. Though, you can change the default behavior by completely disabling imports organization on save if you like that option. See github.com/golang/tools....

The materials are wonderful, and the fact that they are CC-licensed is fantastic. I'm currently writing my master's thesis and have already found myself looking at your slides multiple times to recall some definitions and concepts. So, thank you!

Simone Ragusa @interrato.dev · 06/08/2025

I wish you a successful course (I'm sure it will be!) and hope you have a lot of fun teaching it.

Simone Ragusa @interrato.dev · 26/06/2025

I assume that the course is only for AUB students, is that right? In any case, thank you for making the materials publicly accessible, they are great!

Do you need some testing? I use GrapheneOS on my main device. Happy to help if needed!

It's really not bad. Though I think it gets rather ugly as soon as you try to be too clever with it (as is often the case with many other things).

Happy birthday, Filippo! 🥳 I'll send you some words. ✍🏻

Yes! I have one or two of those fairies at home!

That would be great! I already handle crypto/rand errors on Read with a panic, so in my case nothing would change except writing less code, which is great since it also renders it impossible to forget handling the error in the first place.

Update: indeed, audio works on desktop! Anyway, strange YouTube behavior, I'd say!

Simone Ragusa @interrato.dev · 08/04/2024

Huh, interesting! I tried four different apps on mobile (also setting different resolutions, which should affect the audio format AFAIK) and the audio didn't work on any of them. I'll try from my computer tomorrow!

Simone Ragusa @interrato.dev · 08/04/2024

Is it just me or is the audio completely broken? I can barely hear some noises at max volume.

Simone Ragusa @interrato.dev · 05/03/2024

Ah, yes! I missed the point you were actually making earlier. I'm sorry!

Thanks for sharing the advice, I'll try that way!

I'm a bit jealous of this, I'd love to actually start writing blog posts, but I never know where to start and I'm afraid of writing poorly (which is definitely in contrast with my perfectionism)
