cryptography, security, and random thoughts

Hey! I'm David, cofounder of zkSecurity, research advisor at Archetype, and author of the Real-World Cryptography book. I was previously a cryptography architect of Mina at O(1) Labs, the security lead for Libra/Diem at Facebook, and a security engineer at the Cryptography Services of NCC Group. Welcome to my blog about cryptography, security, and other related topics.

Erasmus & Korean

blog

A new year starting means new erasmus coming. And this year I’ve done things a bit differently, instead of just meeting the newcomers I’ve joined the Erasmus association of Bordeaux “Inter’action Bordeaux” and I’ve helped them organized many events. Parties of course but also some really cool stuff like:

  • A welcome erasmus week-end in a camping next to the Sanguinet lake (and for the first time of my life I slept on the beach! Not really comfy).

  • The Feria of Bordeaux, and no worries, no animals were injured, it was more like a silly cow running around people :)

Aside from participating in this new adventure, I’ve also started taking Korean classes at the same place where I was taking russian classes last year. And I already learned how to write/read korean. It’s actually not that hard at all and if you have a few hours to spare you could learn it too :)

I forgot that I also spent quite some time learning Romanian on Memrise this summer and I fell in love with Memrise again. I was actually the first of many romanian classes rankings for many weeks.
