because literally every single thing he has ever claimed to have created (qhasm, eSTREAM) has never been in a runnable state
i assumed he just died in 2010 but he keeps pretending to publish papers with himself as first author despite being the fucking PI
there are so many other things wrong with the world atm but i'm still shocked about that because authorship is not a subjective editorial decision—it's a highly regulated and adjudicated process taught to every single graduate student. it is one of the many little legal systems that arise to achieve a nash equilibrium over an iterated prisoner's dilemma. it is a matter of academic integrity
"profs who steal students' work" is a very well known failure mode and it's up there right next to sexually harrassing students for reasons which should be obvious. usually they avoid leaving a meticulous written record, but then again usually it's the journal's job to perform due diligence on the author listing (because otherwise they can be sued in Real Court i'm p sure)
honestly this is sufficient evidence https://cr.yp.to/papers.html every single paper is first author. this is the evidence they find on law and order at the 50-minute mark before finding the door locked from the outside
i'm gonna email the journal that gave him best paper award about their authorlist policies. until my demands are met
i really want someone to tell me authorship works differently in crypto. that's exactly what i want to see. but i expect stonewalling
he's so fucking butthurt about kyber all the time. that's the one isis lovecruft specifically says is good. but he's not a lattice hater (quite the opposite), just kyber
this 30-page paper takes uhhhh quite a while to load https://kyberslash.cr.yp.to/kyberslash-20250115.pdf (yes he only provides pdf documents)

i absolutely believe cloudflare rowhammered me for a captcha on an ACM article once given that they performed three very slow reloads before my fans went off and my 64gb of RAM was swapping. i thought it was game over dude. maybe it was
clownflare really believes someone would go afk waiting for their censorship regime to decide whether to censor you. let's get one thing straight: i am timing you here.
CAP theorem (Censorship, Accountability, Plausibility): choose two
- censorship: blocking access to a resource
- accountability: the outward appearance of unfettered access
- plausibility: how likely it is for the user to assume good faith
