Bit Security has received a lot of criticism lately can you explain why that is?

So, there are a few different issues here.

(For instance, we dont understand how to program these).

Interview with Michael Walter at EuroCrypt 2018 on the Topic of Bit Security

What is the focus of your research?

In this work we look at a different aspect essentially.

Your research is redefining the decision problems?

Michael Walter - EuroCrypt 2018

Not the problems itself, but how you would measure the security of decision primitives.

What are the real-life implications based on your work, if any?

So, that is kind of an interesting question.

Michael Walter - EuroCrypt 2018

When talking about real life applications, you usually look at things that have a constant advantage.

There, it doesnt really matter that much if you look at the distinguishing advantage or distinguishing advantage2.

It’s more to get a cleaner way of reducing between primitives.

Michael Walter - EuroCrypt 2018

So it does have some implications.

But if I tell you something has only 50 bits of security you’ll probably stay clear of it.
