UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Institutions must learn: there's no appeasing fascists. Columbia humiliated itself, broke the law, brutalized students/faculty, and destroyed the concept of truth. It was targeted not in spite of that, but because of it. If you lack integrity and show weakness, you'll be crushed.

Delighted to share my new paper with Eylon Yogev presenting a new Fiat-Shamir (FS) transformation that aims to be secure against recent white-box attacks: ia.cr/2025/329 The FS transformation is used to convert public-coin interactive protocols to non-interactive ones.
i had a hard time feeling understood by my parents when i was a kid. now, i am realizing how much of it comes down to not understanding my parents too. this is a letter I wrote my dad. i was surprised that he wanted me to share it openly. 1/3

Wow- treating a hash function as if it’s random is standard in cryptography. We always knew that it is not 100% theoretically justified and there were works (also by me) with contrived counter examples. This is the first time there is an attack on a standard protocol that’s…

Really nice work. I've suspected for a while that a result like this would hold but I'd never been able to show it. Congrats to Dmitry, Ron and Lev! I imagine a natural direction now is to see if this attack can be extended to other argument systems?
