Absolutely shameful: for the UK, to request it, and for Apple, to comply. But this is an additional reminder: if you use Apple devices and don't live in the UK, turn on advanced data protection (what Apple calls E2EE for most of their cloud data): support.apple.com/en-us/108756

New paper is out where we build a brand new isogeny-based signature! 🎉 - It's a hash-and-sign signature, which makes it more flexible for advanced constructions - Security depends on a new problem: computing prime-degree isogenies - Performance is comparable to SQIsign2D - Conceptually simpler

When GitHub is down less than a week before the NIST Round 2 deadline…

Interesting note showing a simple but cool attack on the (semihonest) OPRF from group action!

I’m excited to be in the editorial board of CiC next year and to read all the cool work that will be submitted there!

Continuiamo a dare la cittadinanza a chi ha antenati che erano italiani un secolo fa piuttosto che darla a chi ha vissuto in Italia tutta la vita. Va tutto benissimo.

2024 update for my chart on the landscape of quantum computing: sam-jaques.appspot.com/quantum_land... Not much visible on the chart, but Google's result (the one with the recent press attention) is a pretty big deal

Sofía Celi joins as new co-editor of eprint.iacr.org. The core of IACR is volunteer effort, and it's always good to welcome someone new. @claucece

😭

Ready* and excited for this asiacrypt 🎉 First time in Kolkata and in India, if anyone has good tips on things to do, see, and eat, send them my way! * that is, slides apart

#Asiacrypt2024 is almost here. As someone who was born and raised in Kolkata, I decided to provide some unofficial updates/tips and will post them as they come into my mind. Folks, especially who are coming from outside the sub-continent, might find these useful. 1/3

So not even tshirts allowed?!? 😳 #asiacrypt2024

This is such a creepy law, and the fact that Hungary is pushing for it certainly doesn’t help

Are you attending Asiacrypt2024? If you are a women-in-cryptography, you can participate in our coffee breaks: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... We will match you with someone and you can grab a coffee/tea in person!

Very excited for what seems to be an amazing talk at the isogeny.club, new isogeny-based signature scheme with even faster signing than SQIsign2D(-West)!!!

SQIsign lives!! asiacrypt.iacr.org/2024/program...

The Asiacrypt 2024 program is finally up! asiacrypt.iacr.org/2024/program...

A tale of two platforms: BlueSky user numbers have hit a new record high in recent days, while the number of people deleting their accounts on X/Twitter has rocketed 🚀

Finally moved over from the other website. Any good collection of cryptographers to follow?

If you are interested in working with us in PIR, ZKP or PQC (or an intersection of it) at @brave, please apply! brave.com/careers/?gh_... (There are other areas as well for ML and Systems: brave.com/careers/) Come work with us! This is a PhD intership ;)
