Very deep principles lie hidden inside theories we already have: public key cryptography was already implicit in the 1930s theory of computation.

Shared subject first, then similar wording. They may agree or disagree.

• A sufficiently large random reversible circuit is plausibly a secure cryptographic permutation, while a large random irreversible circuit collapses to only a few possible outputs. VBVitalik Buterin21 Aug 2026cryptography
• Accurate time synchronization is a critical system function because it underlies cryptographic verification protocols like TLS. JSJon Seager26 Mar 2026cryptography
• Building a secure obfuscation protocol is extremely difficult. VBVitalik Buterin29 Jun 2026cryptography
• End-to-end cryptographic signing of requests and responses is more secure than relying on transport-layer encryption like TLS alone. CPColin Percival11 Apr 2026cryptography
• Giving people the choice to manage their own cryptographic keys matters more than forcing everyone to do so. SKSteve Klabnik14 Jul 2026cryptography
