Thank you! We'll create some nice cover illustrations and add these to the list
Re:A Mathematical Theory of Communication [pdf] on Friday May 03, 2024 @01:12PM (#40249933)
Not many know about it, but this paper (written in 1948) stemmed from a lesser-known paper Shannon wrote in 1945 called "A Mathematical Theory of Cryptography"[0].

Re:The most important cryptography papers on Friday May 03, 2024 @12:49PM (#40249704)
We should definitely include Josh. Any suggestions specifically on which paper of his would be most useful to include?
Re:The most important cryptography papers on Friday May 03, 2024 @12:48PM (#40249691)
That's true! To be honest the papers start at the _beginning_ of (modern) cryptography, and the site doesn't factor in some of the more modern research in crypto. We haven't refreshed it in a couple of years, but should include some of the new FHE and PQC standardized schemes etc.

Any thoughts on what we should add/remove?

Re:The most important cryptography papers on Friday May 03, 2024 @12:45PM (#40249661)
I commented on this on another thread, but in all honesty it was intentionally skewed towards more "popular" papers as a quick reference guide. A lot of the people that use this resource are university students or cryptography first-timers, and undergrad university curricula do tend to focus more on the "famous" papers rather than the most novel/important.

That being said, if you have suggestions for papers to include we'd be happy to add them!

Re:The most important cryptography papers on Friday May 03, 2024 @12:43PM (#40249640)
Good suggestion! We (unfortunately) don't have an official webmaster at the company, but will try and surface this data on the page :)
Re:The most important cryptography papers on Friday May 03, 2024 @12:41PM (#40249615)
Founder of Evervault here — we created the page more as a simple reference to the most common papers that people are looking for when they're learning cryptography from scratch (with a mathematical background). As a result, frankly it skews more towards the "most famous" papers rather than the most important. If you have suggestions for papers you think we should include, we'd be happy to add them!
Re:Online Cryptography Course by Dan Boneh on Thursday May 02, 2024 @12:38PM (#40238221)
If anybody's interested in any of the algorithms and papers that underpin most modern cryptography, we created a dedicated page on our site[0] as an homage to the great cryptographers of the last century(!) (and their works).

Re:Show HN: Redact PII for OpenAI with a simple proxy on Wednesday July 19, 2023 @10:34AM (#36787071)
Hi all!

Founder of Evervault[0] here.

We're excited to launch our AI Privacy use case today, making it easy for developers to easily redact PII in unstructured data (like prompts) using a simple proxy.

This means you can collect data from your users and have it redacted at the edge before it touches your infrastructure, or redact it before sending it to third-party LLM providers like OpenAI — solving a lot of the compliance and privacy pains facing developers today.

I wrote more about our proxy approach on the Evervault Blog[1].

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Re:Tokenized Tokens on Wednesday July 12, 2023 @05:10PM (#36701738)
Shameless plug, but we have a product at Evervault[0] called Outbound Relay[1] that’s basically a hosted, managed version of this flow. Secrets can be encrypted anywhere you collect them (either from third-party APIs or directly from the user in their browser) and then used any time you send a request to a downstream API provider.
