I guess if Jerry managed to backdoor the SEC curve parameters then he kinda really *did* deserve a raise:

Sadly Jerry died earlier this year so we'll never know.

Also, hot take, cofactors are already backdoors, sorry DJB fans.

Please nostr:npub1vadcfln4ugt2h9ruwsuwu5vu5am4xaka7pw6m7axy79aqyhp6u5q9knuu7 what do you think of DJB's recent blog post about NIST and it's selection of PQC schemes?

I haven't read his blog in a while so thanks for the heads up!

You meant the latest one right?

Sheesh this is more like a book than a blog post 😅. But very relevant, indeed.
