Hal Finney's explanation of secp256k1 "efficiently computable endomorphism" parameters used secp256k1 libraries, archived from source.

The same optimization could be applied to any Koblitz curve (e.g. Short Weistrass curve with a=0).

---

I implemented an optimized ECDSA verify for the secp256k1 curve, based on pages 125-129 of the Guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography, by Hankerson, Menezes and Vanstone. I own the book but I also found a PDF on a Russian site which is more convenient.

secp256k1 uses the following prime for its x and y coordinates:

BLS Signature for Busy People

Summary

• BLS stands for

  • Barreto-Lynn-Scott: BLS12, a Pairing Friendly Elliptic Curve.
  • Boneh-Lynn-Shacham: A Signature Scheme.

• Signature Aggregation

  • It is possible to verify n aggregate signatures on the same message with just 2 pairings instead of n+1.

A simple file encryption tool & format

Filippo Valsorda (@FiloSottile) — Ben Cartwright-Cox (@Benjojo12)

Designed at the Recurse Center during NGW 2019

This is a design for a simple file encryption CLI tool, Go library, and format. It’s meant to replace the use of gpg for encrypting files, backups, streams, etc. It’s called "age", which might be an acronym for Actually Good Encryption, and it’s pronounced like the Japanese 上げ (with a hard g).
