Hey! I'm David, cofounder of zkSecurity and the author of the Real-World Cryptography book. I was previously a crypto architect at O(1) Labs (working on the Mina cryptocurrency), before that I was the security lead for Diem (formerly Libra) at Novi (Facebook), and a security consultant for the Cryptography Services of NCC Group. This is my blog about cryptography and security and other related topics that I find interesting.

Disco: whitepaper posted February 2019

I already wrote a lot about Disco:

Today, I released the white paper that introduces the construction. Check it out on ePrint.

disco paper

It's a combination of everything I've talked about, plus:

  • some experimental results on embedded devices done by Matteo Bocchi and Ruggero Susella
  • some preliminary results on formal verification with Tamarin Prover

I unfortunately did not have the time to complete the formal verification of several important lemmas. But I am hopping that I can achieve this in a later paper. The formal verification code is on github and anybody is welcome to help :)

Well done! You've reached the end of my post. Now you can leave a comment or read something else.
