A Gentle Introduction to ProgCrypto
When I first heard about ProgCrypto (Programmable Cryptography) during Devconnect 2023, I was drawn to see how this simple term encompasses so many different kinds of cryptography techniques. As I read 0xPARC’s ProgCrypto book, I got a peek at how some of these protocols work at their most fundamental level.
Plonkathon
I finally got a chance to try out the exercises from Plonkathon by 0xPARC, an educational implementation of PLONK. It follows closesly to the paper which is what makes it such a good resource to reinforce one’s learning (or to start learning) on PLONK.
