Had lots of fun working on this project with @MainoLuciano and @isogenies!
We build a brand-new isogeny-based PKE by constructively using the same techniques that enabled the SIDH attacks. The best part? We got to call it FESTA, which is party in Italian! 🎉

🚨 introducing LeOPaRd: more efficient #quantum-safe Oblivious PRF 🚨
- round-optimal, supports verifiability and partial obliviousness
- relies on a new interactive lattice problem, called iMLWER-RU

Are you curious where cryptographers work around the world? Here is a plot of the affiliations that people have listed in eprint: eprint.iacr.org/geo/index.ht… I'm guessing that Russia is under-represented in this data set.

We're crowdsourcing a list of mainstream uses of "fancy" cryptography such as OPRFs, blind signatures, SNARKs and ZKP. Basically cryptography beyond symmetric ciphers, hashes, signatures, and KEM/PKE.

New work on improving SQIsign using two dimensional isogenies. A post-quantum signature scheme with compact public keys, signatures and the fastest verification of isogeny-based protocols so far.

📜Out now @NatureComms !😊
We show that what you learn & how you learn it can lead to important differences in neural activity structure + these differences play an important role in later adaptation nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Chen’s paper has a bug, independently discovered by Hongxun Weng and Thomas Vidick, that he doesn’t know how to fix. If I understand correctly, in its current form the paper doesn’t yield any improvement on prior algorithms.

Is lattice-based cryptography still (potentially) post-quantum now? 🥳

This looks serious. Damn serious. Some lattice expert can say something about it?

After a long slog, by many, many people, the first issue of the Communications on Cryptology is out.
This is a new Diamond Open Access (free to publish, free to view) journal from the IACR.
