Why We Don’t Generate Elliptic Curves Every Day

With all the talk recently of how the NIST curve parameters were selected, a reasonable observer could wonder why we all use the same curves instead of generating them along with keys, like we do for Diffie-Hellman parameters. You might have memories of waiting around for openssl dhparam to run a...

Go 1.20 Cryptography

The first second release candidate of Go 1.20 is out!1 This is the first release I participated in as an independent maintainer, after leaving Google to become a professional Open Source maintainer. By the way, thats going great, and Im going to write more about it here soon! Im pretty happy with...

Planning Go 1.20 Cryptography Work

As you might know, I left Google in spring to try and make the concept of a professional Open Source maintainer a thing. Im staying on as a maintainer of the Go cryptography standard library, and I am going to seek funding from companies that rely on it, want to ensure its security and reliabilit...
