Matthew D. Green

Like Vitalik put out a tweet about this.

Did you see Matthew Green? Matthew Green is the

most credible evidence to me that what you are saying of just like this isn't just like Justin Drake waking up on a Thursday and deciding to like pull the alarm bell.

Read the tweet.

What's he say?

Matthew Green is a cryptographer that we've had on the podcast once before.

Very prestigious cryptographer.

And he just tweets out very casually.

Thank you.

Um, and then, um, Matthew Green, who, you know, is, I...

My understanding, you know, he's a well-known cryptographer.

He's aware of cryptocurrency.

But when he says that, people take that way more seriously, I think, than Justin Drake with his arguably a bit flippant post.

Yeah.

Um, but I would say that was a bit flippant of Matthew Green to tweet that, and, and I think he basically s- s- cellphone that the next day.

'Cause then he posted like a 10 tweet, much more nuanced-

Like I think the, uh, the let's call it the typhoid Mary of the crash out was, was Drake.

Uh, but since, uh, uh, cryptographer who I didn't know about, but apparently contributed a lot to the original, uh, zero knowledge, uh, proof corpus, Matthew green, who teaches at John Hopkins, uh, wrote a post that says, I think we might lose public key cryptography, full stop.

Um, he since like has, um, explained himself and ratcheted it down a little bit because everyone saw that and freaked out.

But I think it's hard to say whether anyone has any information here or this is like...

But he warned that lattice schemes, which are meant to resist quantum attacks, could be seriously weakened by AI math over the next two years.

Matthew Green, a cryptographer at Johns Hopkins, makes a narrower case.

He says he is not predicting a break.

But he says today's security levels rest on the work of a couple of dozen human researchers.
