I’m not familiar with these authors. Could you elaborate more for the folks who aren’t as deep in this space?



Some work they are known for:

Sharon Goldberg: Attacking the Network Time Protocol: https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1020

Miro Haller: MEGA: Malleable Encryption Goes Awry: https://mega-awry.io/

Nadia Heninger: Mining your Ps and Qs: https://factorable.net/

Dan Shumow: On the Possibility of a Back Door in the NIST SP800-90 Dual EC PRNG: https://rump2007.cr.yp.to/15-shumow.pdf

Marc Stevens: MD5 considered harmful today: https://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/rogue-ca/

Adam Suhl: On the Possibility of a Backdoor in the Micali-Schnorr Generator: https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/440


Sharon Goldberg is active in the research areas of Internet Security, such as BGP and such.

Nadia Heningner is active in cryptography and network security, I first heard about her from her work on factorable.net.

Marc Stevens has been attacking cryptographic hash implementations for ages and has done profound work, see shattered.io although before that he was attacking MD5 I believe.
