I tend to agree with Paul on this point. This is a place where academia
needs to improve. An attempt to do so is the Real World Crypto
conference (RWC; https://rwc.iacr.org/2019/), but the deadline for
submissions was October 1st. For HpolyC I asked a few people to take a
look at the construction and the consensus was that it seems secure but
that the proof style makes it hard to verify. I haven't had the time yet
to read the Adiantum paper (and I'm not a provable security person
anyway) but I suppose Paul took the comments he received on this into
account and that's the best we can hope for. Academia simply moves in a
different pace and has different incentives.
