01 02 Behavioral Privacy Leakage in Agentic Negotiation: Formalizing and Mitigating Inference Attacks via Randomized Policies arxiv.orgCan your negotiation bot's concessions, timing, and convergence leak hidden constraints? This paper formalizes that and randomizes around...03 IETF TLS last-call thread on ML-KEM in TLS, with the usual calls for actual attacks and less hand-waving.04 3PaaS adds post-compromise security via a third party, with unlinkable identities, revocation, and ZK blind-signature proofs.05 IETF's PQC engineer guide, covering NIST/ISO algorithms, hybrids, protocol fallout, and the usual key-size pain.06 Protocol Prying: Systematic Vulnerability Research in the Apple AirDrop and Android Quick Share Proximity Transfer Protocols arxiv.orgSix bugs and a heap UAF in proprietary proximity transfer, courtesy of reverse engineering and protocol-aware fuzzing.07 The Web4 Agent Economy: A Large-Scale Empirical Study of the Landscape, Challenges, and Opportunities arxiv.orgarXiv paper on Web4 agent wallets, payments, and API use, with logs and GitHub issues to map the usual auth/payment mess.08 Daniel J. Bernstein (djb): The NSA, the IETF, and the Fight to Weaken Your Encryption — by Verified Privacy VPN (vp.net) youtube.comWhat did djb think the NSA got the IETF to ship, and why are we still pretending standards bodies are neutral?09 Need a Rust MPC toolkit where the same protocol runs in simulation or over mTLS? This repo does that, for research.10 Auto-generates Tamarin models from a DSL and ties them back to code, because hand-writing protocol proofs was still too pleasant.11 Faster Leader-Based Consensus via Certificates of Exclusivity and Overlapping Iterations eprint.iacr.orgHamster tweaks rotating-leader BFT with exclusivity certificates and overlapping rounds, shaving latency off the usual slog.12 1kx revisits its old 'cost of trust' thesis with two buckets, rent compression and zero-to-one enablement, to sort winners and losers.13 Do You Need a Receipt? Anonymous Credential Revocation at Continental Scale via Private Record Certification eprint.iacr.orgPrivate Record Certification revokes anonymous credentials at billion-scale with sub-second latency, because privacy loves paperwork.14 Can OMR beat PIR in practice? UnifOMR says yes, with batch PIR inside and the usual digest/round tax.15 CMoSS gives modular crypto-protocol specs for composing black-box subprotocols, with separate predicates for models and goals.
