We are happy to announce a crypto challenge page bochum-challeng.es to encourage cryptanalysis of post-quantum schemes, starting with some feasible Kyber parameter sets. Please participate, break, receive eternal fame, and enjoy.

#announcement PC nominations for Crypto 2024 iacr.org/news/item/21211

The first four #kyber challenges were solved on bochum-challeng.es/challenges/kyb…. Congratulations to Alexander Karenin and Nour-eddine Rahmani for each solving two. 🥳 Great job guys, keep on going!

🥳We are happy to announce that there will be 17 (!) papers with HGI/CASA participation at this year's USENIX Security. We will be highlighting them here on Twitter in the coming week. Stay tuned! Until then, here's an overview 👉casa.rub.de/en/news/casa/u… #usesec23 #cybersecurity

New week, new #kyber challenges solved on bochum-challeng.es/challenges/kyb…. Congratulations to Anders Nilson for breaking Kyber-144 (15h), and to Alexander Karenin for cracking Kyber-176 (76h). 😳

Our open access book on human factors in #privacy research is finally published 🤩 Thanks to all our contributors and the RTG Privacy and Trust from TU Darmstadt for making this possible link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Call for papers for the new IACR journal is out.. cic.iacr.org/callforpapers Please support this journal. It is the outcome of a many year community led effort to improve the publication process in cryptography.

Awesome PQC program in autumn 2024 IHP

Very happy to announce that our two papers (1) "Too Many Hints — When LLL Breaks LWE" (with Alexander May), (2) "Solving the Hidden Number Problem for CSIDH and CSURF via Automated Coppersmith" (with Jonas Meers), got accepted at Asiacrypt. 1/6

The happy faces say it all: we had a fantastic time – PIs, Postdocs, PhDs, and the CASA Office Team. Looking forward to CASA Retreat 2024😃👥 #TeamCASA #GoodTimes

Our new paper "Leaky McEliece: Secret Key Recovery From Highly Erroneous Side-Channel Information" is now on eprint (ia.cr/2023/1536). Joint work with -, Chitchanok Chuengsatiansup, Alexander May and Yuval Yarom. 1/3

There is a new workshop in town! ***Advances in Asymmetric Cryptanalysis*** (AAC '24, AAC '24) is an ACNS24 (ACNS ) affiliated workshop. It covers the whole spectrum of cryptanalysis! More infos at aac-24.tii.ae. Submission deadline: 15th of November!

Today we celebrated the second anniversary of CS@Bochum. 🥳Feeling proud to be part of this success story. Great students, great faculty! 🫶 Keep on going. #RUB #CASA #MPI-SP

Brilliant explainer on why Article 45 is a disaster in the making for security on the web.
