3 Max Planck Institutes are offering research internships next year (MPI-SP, SWS, and INF). We are looking for advanced students in all areas of CS; prior research experience is not a strict prerequisite. The application deadline is **November 1st, 2022**: cis.mpg.de/internships/

Dear chairs of crypto/security conferences: don't do this. Terrible idea.
Received from AsiaCCS'23 co-chairs: "we strongly discourage publishing submissions on Arxiv, Crypto Eprint, and similar releases."

Dropping new results on eprint is one thing - but dropping the most epic rap video about a cryptography result is just beyond everything I've seen before. Kudos to the authors :) youtu.be/2uVsVYtedVQ

Earlier I tweeted about Russia using the Premise microtasking platform for fire targeting, expanding on the official statement from Ukrainian armed forces. After speaking with the Premise CEO and other folks familiar with the matter, the most likely story seems to be different.

Learn about proof-oriented programming in F*! The tutorial covers topics ranging from quicksort and Merkle trees to lambda calculus and monads. I just posted 9 new chapters today (though there's still lots left to go!). Get in touch if you try it out. fstar-lang.org/tutorial/

There is still a LOT of confusion about Climate Income, where you put a fee on fossil fuel and give it right back out to people in an equal monthly check. So, a thread. First, it's not regressive for one simple reason: rich people spend vastly more on energy than poor people.

Given SHA256, what would you use as key derivation function to extract symmetric keys from an ECDH key exchange? I'm very interested in replies explaining your choices.
