Scouting report

Johns Hopkins cryptographer who co-led the Open Crypto Audit Project’s review of TrueCrypt, contributed to the analysis of Dual_EC_DRBG and the RSA BSAFE backdoor, and worked on the attacks behind Logjam and DROWN. His blog is the standard place the rest of the industry goes to find out how badly a new crypto story is being reported.

Curator’s note

Does the audit, then does the translation so the rest of us can follow it.
