I wrote a brief summary of Ward Beullens's Rainbow attack! This is probably the most excited I've ever been reading a paper: priv.pub/posts/rainbow-…

The funniest part is how the email tries to list the pros/cons of each scheme, and included "can be broken in a weekend with a laptop" as the cons for Rainbow. Seems like a dealbreaker to me!

I made a (light-hearted) meme about the Post Quantum Cryptography standards

1997: IBM's DeepBlue vs. Kasparov 2016: Google's AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol 202X: Meta's SALSA vs. Thijs Laarhoven? My money is on Thijs for now.

There's a new bi-weekly seminar on an oddly specific topic in town! Krijn Reijnders and I are happy to announce that the Isogeny Club will start this fall! Spread the word! the-isogeny-club.github.io

Tim Beyne blogged from #crypto2022 on Ward Beullens' paper "Breaking Rainbow takes a weekend on a laptop", check it out here: esat.kuleuven.be/cosic/blog/bre…

The PQC scheme MAYO has now a brand new website, logo and more! Check it out: pqmayo.org Made with love with Ward Beullens !

Since 1969 Strassen’s algorithm has famously stood as the fastest way to multiply 2 matrices - but with #AlphaTensor we’ve found a new algorithm that’s faster, with potential to improve efficiency by 10-20% across trillions of calculations per day! dpmd.ai/dm-alpha-tensor

Isogenists have had a monopoly on pretty graphs for far too long! (By the way, I don't know why these graphs look the way they do, if you find out please let me know...)

Recently out of the over is the MAYO-sage code: github.com/PQCMayo/MAYO-s…, where we aimed at creating an easy to follow implementation of the PQC scheme MAYO.

#Job PhD or Postdoc in isogeny-based cryptography: IBM Research Zürich iacr.org/jobs/item/3355

Come to Zürich work with me and team on isogeny based crypto! [Picture for illustration purposes only, not actual team. IBM Isogeny Day 2022] 😎

Ward Beullens Fabio Campos 🇧🇷 @[email protected] yes!!

Just looking at the sizes, PQMayo is the most promising submission to the NIST on-ramp I’ve seen. Also the cycle counts are better than expected. Just needs thorough cryptanalysis. 🤞

Thanks to all participants of #AfricaCrypt_2023. It was a pleasure to meet all of you ;-)

If you are around for the NIST's Fifth PQC Standardization Conference, go check our MAYO poster and talk to Matthias Kannwischer or Ward Beullens . They will presented our paper: eprint.iacr.org/2023/1683 and our poster!

This is a very nice website on what women in academia face,as "We start our summary by stating common gender stereotypes such as "women just need to act like men to succeed in academia" or "academia is fair and objective - women are just not good enough". sites.google.com/view/womeninac…
