About The Author
My name is Scott Arciszewski. I’m a security engineer that specializes in applied cryptography and has a deep background with scripting languages and web programming languages.
Some people think that’s a weird background. To their credit, I did implement the Curve25519 field arithmetic in pure PHP. Twice.
If you’ve ever heard of me, it’s most likely because of my involvement in improving the security of open source software. Or because of Twitter Mastodon, where I interact with hundreds of people smarter and funnier than myself.
When I’m not working on security nerd stuff, I can be occasionally found playing multiplayer video games with my friends.
I do not speak for my employer or any company.
(In fact, the entire point of this blog is to have a space to write things that interest me and are not tied to my employment.)
About Semantically Secure
A lot of Internet arguments devolve quickly into semantics. A lot of cryptography software fails to uphold a property called semantic security.
Thus, I decided that Semantically Secure was an appropriate title for a blog that encompasses Internet arguments about cryptography.

Can I Buy Scott A Drink?
If we ever meet at a security conference, be aware that I don’t drink alcohol. However, I do enjoy good conversation with excellent company; especially over coffee.
Alternatively, I do have a Ko-Fi.
