BLS Signatures, Hashing to Curves, and More - Dispatches from the IETF

Explore advanced cryptography standardization at the IETF in this 27-minute conference talk from ACS'19. Dive into the process of writing an RFC with the Crypto Forum Research Group and gain insights from ongoing work on BLS signatures and hash-to-curve standardization efforts. Learn about invalid curve attacks, polite crypto, the official IETF process, RFC editing, patents, pairing-friendly curves, and aggregated signatures. Discover the challenges of rogue key attacks and gain a comprehensive understanding of cutting-edge cryptographic developments.
