hardware accelerated cryptography

Joined October 2018
Wormhole Foundation has awarded a Contributor Grant to @_Supranational for Wormhole ZK hardware acceleration. This step is crucial for minimizing trust and enhancing security of the multichain ecosystem powered by @Wormhole.

1) Faster/Cheaper implementations of Groth16 Proofs are a large cost for Storage Providers in Filecoin, so we spent engineering time to make them faster. See 2021 numbers: xitter.cf/Filecoin/status/166102… Only this year we have a 6x speedup thanks to @_Supranational!
zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) provide the ability for one party to prove to another that they know a secret without revealing the secret itself. Filecoin is the largest deployed zk-SNARK network to date. 🤯research.protocol.ai/sites/s…

🔊This week, we cover hardware for ZKPs and VDFs! @AnnaRRose & @tarunchitra chat with Simon Peffers & @kellymolson from @_Supranational. They share their knowledge of FPGAs, ASICs and how it all ties into Moore’s law, ZK cryptography and blockchains! zeroknowledge.fm/170

This is the first post in a series of progress blogs by Principal Researcher Joey Dodds (@n1nj4.) He introduces the ‘blst’ BLS verification project, a new collaboration between Galois, @_Supranational, @protocollabs, and @ethereum. Check it out: buff.ly/3c7oWjZ
New paper out by Sabanci University summarizing low-latency ASIC algorithms for use in VDFs: eprint.iacr.org/2020/480
