Welcome to #CryptoWeek at @Cloudflare!

Kicking it off with an introduction by me: blog.cloudflare.com/crypto-week-20…

The Distributed Web Gateway (starring IPFS): blog.cloudflare.com/distributed-we…

IPFS Gateway Validator extension: blog.cloudflare.com/e2e-integrity/

Stay tuned every day for new announcements!
You can now access anything on IPFS at cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/<hash>, or you can point any hostname to an IPFS hash and serve that content through HTTPS.

For example, here's a full, searchable mirror of Stack Exchange:
…sec.stackexchange.cloudflare-ipfs.com
If you set up DNSSEC, then users can run our new IPFS Gateway Validator browser extension to make sure they're getting your content with end-to-end integrity validation. Valid sites are highlighted by this beautiful blue fingerprint icon by @kkblinder. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…

Crypto 2018 has affiliated events this year, which is fun. I’m currently attending the Quantum-safe Cryptography for Industry event, a big focus of mine lately. crypto.iacr.org/2018/affevents…

@Cloudflare is a sponsor of Crypto this year, so come see me if you want a webcam cover!
We just heard from Adrian Stanger from the NSA. There is high confidence in the NIST process and no plans to invest in QKD. Algorithm recommendations (key agreement and signatures) to be made around 2023-24. There are no plans to replace AES-256 or SHA2-384.
Brian LaMacchia of @MSFTResearch gives an overview of the cryptographic algorithm transitions we’ve gone through so far in the 21st century.

DNS interception and manipulation is real and pervasive. This paper is a great motivator for the deployment of encrypted DNS and DNSSEC. #usesec18

Who Is Answering My Queries: Understanding and Characterizing Interception of the DNS Resolution Path usenix.org/conference/use…
Here’s a website built by the researchers to help reveal which DNS resolver you are using.

Thread.

I was recently privy to a conversation in which some really smart people in security shared their favorite papers or articles. Security engineering, like other disciplines, has a rich history worth learning from.

I'm going to list some of these papers in this thread.
New Directions in Cryptography - Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman (1976)

It's hard to emphasize just how revolutionary the concept of public key cryptography is. This paper started it all, introducing D-H key agreement and digital signatures.

ee.stanford.edu/~hellman/publi…
Reflections on Trusting Trust - Ken Thompson (1984)

This paper succinctly describes the concept that it's not enough to trust software, you also need to trust the software that compiles the software, and the software that compiles the compiler, and so on

#crypto: Updated total market cap logarithmic regression. #cryptocurrency Market cap currently underperforming the predicted price by 47%. Even if the market tests new lows (likely), this metric is signaling that it's time to pay attention. 1/
Note: MC is not always the best metric for valuation purposes. Also, most altcoins/ico's have not yet survived an extended bear market. Missing this critical validation period, this serves more as a tool to observe where the market is in its current price cycle 2/
If this can happen to Deutsche bank imagine what can happen in this young market. Numerous coins may not retest all-time highs. It's still unclear how that will affect the predictive ability of the model for total MC in aggregate. Survival of the fittest at play. 3/

0/ Such a full-on 24 hours for the #crypto/#blockchain space! When is it not?

Too much to take in? Fear not, I've got you covered, and have put together a thread of 24 events - one for each hour? (🤷‍♂️) - that caught my eye. Let's go!
1/ 🤝 @FantomFDN [ $FTM ] partnered with @Danfoss, a multi-billion-dollar #energy/#IoT manufacturer & service provider.

The Denmark-headquartered company will work w/ #Fantom to "explore the possibilities of accelerating the development of the microgrid." medium.com/fantomfoundati…
2/ 🆕 The @AERGO_io team published the mother of all blog posts. And why not! For it unveiled both the AERGO Chain Alpha & the AERGO pre-testnet.

Click through for more on their consensus algorithm (i.e., BFT-dPOS), Client SDK, and what's next for #AERGO. medium.com/aergo/releasin…

0/ What a hot start to the week for the #crypto and #blockchain ecosystem!

To help you keep up-to-date, here are just *some* of the developments out of the past ~24 hours' action...
1/ 🦅 #Ethereum-powered @AragonProject [ $ANT ] introduced the Flock program; the team's next step in decentralizing the development of #Aragon.

Flock will handle the initial application and pre-selection process for new Aragon teams. blog.aragon.org/flock-funding-…
2/ ⚖️ @NexoFinance [ $NEXO ] opened up applications for prospective liquidity providers.

The #crypto lending platform is guaranteeing a 1:1 conversion to USD on any of six #stablecoin (i.e., $USDT, $TUSD, $GUSD, $USDC, $DAI, $PAX). Minimum stake of $100k. Interest up to 6.5%.

1/ For years, people have been waiting and hoping for crypto's "Netscape" moment. The gateway to the web that brought the internet to the main stream.

IMHO, looking for the Netscape for the #crypto space is not a relevant or applicable analogy. Here's why...
2/ The way people imagine crypto's "Netscape moment" is very literal: as a window, gateway, or browser (just like Netscape) to easily acquire, save, and use crypto and access the decentralized web.
3/ But that sounds a lot like a wallet and exchange, which already exists. And yet, even with these onramps and "browsers" into crypto, we haven't had that "Netscape moment" people are hoping for in terms of mass adoption.

Crypto moves of July & August are something to laugh about and make market participants throw everything but technicals & momentum out the window.
1st rally on fakenews about an ETF that won't happen
2nd crash on an ETF rejection that was no surprise
3rd crash on an ETF postponement that was no news
4th rally on failure to tank on ETF rejections that were no news

All very rational. #crypto
Should replace there "was not news" by "should have been no news". The market's inability to process information efficiently is one of the key points.

1/ While I appreciate the work of @CoinMarketCap & the many other token data aggregators, it’s important to recognize none of them represent the entire #cryptoasset reality.
2/ When people new to the space first realize @CoinMarketCap has ~1,500 #cryptoassets listed, many will exclaim, “Wow, that’s a lot!” But in reality, that’s just the tip of the iceberg...
3/ consider, for example, that @wavesplatform has 12,297 #tokens that have been launched on its platform and trade on its internal DEX.
