PROFILE
Nicole Graus
Over an 11-month period, contributed to lambdaclass/lambdaworks by building advanced cryptographic and mathematical features, focusing on field arithmetic, elliptic curve operations, and zero-knowledge proof protocols. Leveraged Rust and Assembly to implement quartic field extensions, optimize polynomial division, and deliver unified GLV/GLS scalar multiplication using Babai decomposition for multiple curves. Enhanced code maintainability through documentation improvements, dependency alignment, and rigorous benchmarking. Introduced practical cryptographic examples, such as RSA and Schnorr signatures, and demonstrated security concepts like the Pohlig-Hellman attack. Prioritized code quality with linting, CI/CD integration, and static analysis, supporting scalable, reliable cryptographic workflows and future protocol enhancements.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for lambdaworks: Delivered a unified GLV/GLS scalar multiplication path using the Babai decomposition across BLS12-381, BLS12-377, and BN254. This refactor replaces per-curve ad-hoc decompositions with a single Babai-based lattice approach, enabling consistent half-scalar sizing and substantial performance gains. Implemented new GLV/GLS constants, per-curve LLL constants, and k mod r reduction, with benchmarks validating speedups and regression tests ensuring correctness. Updated documentation to reflect the new approach. Commit 21281c3f1cdb6a7f43e7678d8b12c14c1f7eff0e documents the changes and associated tests, benchmarks, and readme updates.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for lambdaworks: Delivered two major feature-focused improvements: a Baby Bear quartic field extension using u32 arithmetic (Fp4E and Fp4Eu32) with integrated benchmarks, and safety-oriented improvements to elliptic curve point creation across curve types. The Baby Bear extension included benchmark tests, refactored benchmark configurations, and module/docs updates to support enhanced field arithmetic. The elliptic curve changes fix and guard point creation (including the point at infinity), introduce explicit safety notes, and reduce unwrap usage to guaranteed-valid points, with additional minor benchmark and linting fixes. Overall impact includes improved cryptographic performance for field arithmetic, safer and more reliable curve operations, and clearer documentation and testing coverage. Technologies demonstrated: Rust-based field arithmetic, benchmarking, code refactoring, safety patterns for cryptographic primitives, and documentation improvements.
