I'll bet efficiency on ARM is more important for wide adoption of a secure hash function than efficiency on recent Intel/AMD laptop/server machines, because everything is a lot slower on (most) ARMs, and the use cases sometimes come with hard performance requirements.

On bench.cr.yp.to/results-hash.html#aa…, BLAKE3 is one of the most efficient secure hash functions, but in reality BLAKE3 is much *more* efficient than shown there, because it uses ARM NEON (which is not shown in that benchmark) and because of the new BLAKE3 v1.4.1 speedups.

BLAKE3 is now *even* faster on (some) ARM machines: github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/relea…

Extra double like/reskeet. I have a crazy idea, y’all: What if users control all their own apps, and those apps interoperate nicely to let users do what they want?

If you benchmark the new BLAKE3 v1.4.1, especially if it is against your particular use cases, let us know what you see!

Awesome that you are offering to contribute. Tbh i don't, but I'm not much involved with maintenance of crypto libs anymore.

Kudos to the Zebra team, the NCC team, and also kudos to the Zcash Foundation for funding this security assessment — that must have been expensive! 🔚

I also like how the long, arduous process of writing an independent implementation of the Zcash protocol and getting a team of experts to scrutinize it also gives me more assurance that there aren't vulns lurking in the math or the original implementation — zcashd. ⤵️

The content is really encouraging. It looks like the Zebra engineers have done good high-quality work, and that the NCC reviewers scrutinized it pretty carefully. I especially like how all of the findings were addressed by Zebra (or, in one or two cases, by my team at ECC). Quality takes care! ⤵️

I noticed that one of the NCC Group reviewers was Thomas Pornin, whose work in cryptography and cryptography engineering i know of as good work. ⤵️

I like that they call it a security "assessment" rather than a security "audit". The word "audit" suggests that it is pass/fail, and a lot of people treat security audit like that, but they really shouldn't, so "assessment" is a better word for this. ⤵️

Last night was a slow Saturday night, so i got to read this whole report of NCC Group's security assessment of Zcash Foundation's zebra. Good stuff! ⤵️

my primary problem with most blockchain-based technology & most cryptocurrency is that it's insufficiently private & susceptible to network analysis, because everyone can see everything happening on the chain—but I don't think web3 technology is useless, either, because this isn't universally true

Presumably if enough people shout at Elon Musk on bluesky then he'll join bluesky.

020

I suppose shouting *on bluesky* at Elon Musk doesn't make much sense, but if bluesky wants to take over twotter's userbase, you've gotta support the most beloved use cases!

@elonmusk I demand the return of the Fail Whale!

New OpenZFS release candidate just dropped with BLAKE3 as a checksum. phoronix.com/news/OpenZFS-2.2-rc1 This is another example of software engineers upgrading from weak/insecure algorithms to BLAKE3 (which is secure) due to BLAKE3's performance. ⤵️
