StarkWare has announced that computer science professor Moni Naor has joined its scientific board as a principal investigator. At StarkWare, he will focus on topics such as Bitcoin cryptography and decentralization of Starknet. StarkWare says Moni has made pioneering contributions to computer science, including pioneering research into public key systems that are resistant to selected ciphertext attacks, non-scalable cryptography, visual cryptography, and innovative methods of authenticating human users (leading to the CAPTCHA concept). The first mention of proof-of-work was made with Cynthia Dwork.
