Thank you! We'll create some nice cover illustrations and add these to the list

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].

We should definitely include Josh. Any suggestions specifically on which paper of his would be most useful to include?

New comment by ShaneCurran in "The most important cryptography papers"

ShaneCurran — Fri, 03 May 2024 16:48:33 +0000

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?

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!

Good suggestion! We (unfortunately) don't have an official webmaster at the company, but will try and surface this data on the page :)

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!

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).

Show HN: Evervault Enclaves

ShaneCurran — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 11:36:36 +0000

Hi all,

Founder of Evervault[0] here. Over the last couple of years, we've been working extensively with AWS Nitro Enclaves[1] for our most sensitive workloads.

We encountered a number of challenges as we tried to build, deploy and scale Nitro Enclaves. Fundamentally, we think Confidential Computing and Secure Enclaves are one of the best ways to ensure data security and integrity for sensitive data. That being said, there are a number of bottlenecks preventing widespread adoption — namely, crafting a great developer experience so any developer can go from a normal Docker container to a Secure Enclave with ease.

After a months-long beta program, we're delighted to finally launch our new developer primitive: Evervault Enclaves[2].

You can think of Evervault Enclaves like Heroku for AWS Nitro Enclaves. All a developer needs to think about is building their application, and we handle the rest. Simply build a Docker container containing a service or application of your choice, and we'll take care of building, deploying and scaling your Secure Enclave — so you can focus on what you do best.

Would love to hear any feedback/suggestions from HN!

Shane
