theres some "sarutobi" game that is basically spamming changetip transactions. i think its basically a video game that throws pennies at the user every few minutes. 5k transactions today

also coincidentally today was the highest number of bitcoin tranactions ever! :iiam:

as mentioned above it's a hardware bitcoin wallet which i'm sure is very secure because if the devs do any kind of shenanigans they'll get scammer tagged and besides it's open source therefore

but i digress, lol thinking that a glorified 2fa widget does anything more than ask "are you sure you want to send SquareBobBongPants666 this money?" because it's usually sold by bitcoiners as this thing that makes the fidc obselete

OpenSSL has code in their source repository for derandomization and reduction in timing leaks that we've eagerly wanted to use for a long time, but this functionality has still not made its way into a released version of OpenSSL. Libsecp256k1 achieves significantly stronger protection: As far as we're aware this is the only deployed implementation of constant time signing for the curve Bitcoin uses and we have reason to believe that libsecp256k1 is better tested and more thoroughly reviewed than the implementation in OpenSSL.

speaking of the trezor, oops

Thanks again for all of the awesome work you guys are doing. Could your test suite be easily modified to check Trezor's code: https://github.com/trezor/trezor-crypto ?

[–]nullc[S] 13 points 6 hours ago
That code may be too slow for the non-static parts of our test to be very effective, as seems to be doing all operations with affine coordinates. Though it appears to be focused on signing and signing is less critical because it can be validated and (in the case of Bitcoin applications) is validated before transmission (and I suppose the host not the device is doing most of the pubkey generation).
Independent of the testing, the code you linked to appears to be have a very large timing and power sidechannel-- e.g. timing alone should directly read out the hamming weight of the DSA nonce, even worse than OpenSSL. (and seems to have fairly little testing the repository?). I wouldn't advise using it in any place where that potentially mattered.

quote:

[–]nullc[S] 7 points 6 hours ago*
We don't yet have a "low memory" mode, though one can easily be created.
Our current construction is optimized for modern desktops and smart-phones that don't mind a pretty significant amount of pre-computation. Though the amount can be compile time configured to fairly low levels.
Making the libsecp256k1 run well on small embedded devices (by small I mean things with <=64 kilobytes of ram) is also one of my goals for it, eventually. And we did recently manage to get some testing done on a really slow AVR32 device.
Edit: Though for something like a usb attached hardware wallet, security against power sidechannels should also be considered (especially since something like an unconnected line-in input on a sound card may be able to sniff EMI from the device); and no generic software (especially written in C) is going to be able to give a really strong guarantee against a power sidechannels. Smartcard vendors implement their own cryptography with full visibility into the hardware at the transistor level and below in order to gain robustness there. I'd at least say some level of testing ought to be done against power sidechannels, though its really hard to closed them completely without special gate-level hardware accommodations.

the biggest predictor of a child having adhd is a family history of it, it's mostly hereditary with environmental factors playing a minor role

it's complicated but blaming the disorder on "lovely parenting" is stupid and counterproductive
