Web3 security and education for the public benefit.

At DeFi Security Summit 2024 I presented a workshop on how smart contract developers can use invariant fuzz testing to find high severity issues prior to external audit, based on my real-world experience doing private audits with Cyfrin.
Since fuzz t...

Functional encryption (FE) can be seen as a generalization of public key encryption (PKE) allowing for a more fine-grained control of the decryption capabilities of third parties.
In PKE the public key $p_k$ is used to hide a value $x$ inside a ciphertext…
