I guess that Asiacrypt will have a panel on AI first breaking hash functions or public-key crypto?
Or will the first panel at Asiacrypt will be about AI first stripping cryptographers of their jobs?
So... let's argue which panel will be first!
I am grading the crypto exams from last semester.
I am going to grade on a curve.
I think Ed25519 is the most suitable, but if you have better suggestions, I am more than open for ideas. After all, I am a symmetric-key person.
The @IACR_News has some new AI policy. There are mainly two parts - for authors and for reviewers.
The authors part is quite good. Very clear distinction about what is the level of contribution that clarifies a lot of questions one may have (I really like the author vs. >>>

I wonder if there is a way to identify from the distance what is the brand of the biometric camera taking pictures at the airport. I mean, who identifies the identifier?!?!?
Reminder: On October 26th, we will commemorate the late Michael O. Rabin, Turing award laureate and one of the founding fathers of computer science in Israel in Tel Aviv University.
Please help in letting your colleagues, especially Israeli ones, know about the event.

We also worked with academics at ETH Zurich, Tel Aviv University, and the University of Haifa to build CryptanalysisBench, a benchmark for studying LLMs’ cryptanalysis abilities.

To be honest, its amazing what one can do with LLMs today. Even convince me to do this type of research.
in the ideal world, the ideal world and the real world are indistinguishable. In the real world, they are.

I wanted to invite you to a conference I am helping to organize in Israel at the end of October. It is part of a larger initiative, in collaboration with the Israel Young Academy, that seeks to leverage the arrival of thousands of Israeli researchers from abroad >>>
