Random question: would you be willing to do an paid audit of new cryptographic code?



Yes, if it's in my (fairly narrow) area of expertise. About 90% of the time when someone approaches me with audit work the answer ends up being "I'm not the right person to hire for this".


What is your narrow area of expertise? Passwords and memory-hard functions?

I figure scrypt is, but I'm not using that. I'm implementing OPAQUE with Argon2.
