I’m excited to announce that our paper (w/ Sunoo Park & @matthew_d_green) “KeyForge: Non-Attributable Email from Forward-Forgeable Signatures” has been accepted to @USENIXSecurity `21!

Here’s a short blogpost on the paper, TLDR below. 🧵

mit.edu/~specter/blog/… In this paper, we try to solve a ~5 year old problem with email: email, by default, is not deniable.

Currently, when you send an email, any recipient (or thief) of that message can cryptographically prove to anyone that the message is valid and likely from you!
