In the pursuit of progress, the market can be the vehicle, but the values of science, scholarship, and enlightenment must be the compass. We've got plenty of disruption. What's missing is direction.

The Center for the Economics of Ideas aims to provide direction. Let's chart new ways in building online trust and rebuilding digital communities.

New Directions in Cryptography

Author: Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman (1976)

This foundational paper introduced the concept of public-key cryptography and digital signatures, revolutionizing how we think about secure communication and authentication. It proposed that users could have a public key for encryption and a separate private key for decryption, eliminating the need for secure key exchange channels.

High-speed high-security signatures

Author: Daniel J. Bernstein, Niels Duif, Tanja Lange, Peter Schwabe, and Bo-Yin Yang (2011)

This paper introduced the Ed25519 signature scheme, which provides fast signing and verification with strong security guarantees. It demonstrated that careful algorithm design could achieve both exceptional performance and resistance to side-channel attacks.
