Are you interested to know what it means to be a Latin-American cryptographer? We are running a workshop in LatinCrypt2021 about it! Want to learn more? See: criptolatino.org/workshop.html

Quiques is online. Follow remotely at youtu.be/qfCQZSDOj70 and see talks about provable security considering quantum computers.

If you did not manage to come to Zagreb or follow Quiques - our workshop on proof techniques for (post-)quantum security - live, you can now find slides and videos at quiques.huelsing.net

Beautiful work by Kathrin Hövelmanns Andreas Hülsing and Christian Majenz around gracefully achieving a reduction to handle decryption failures for the Fujisaki-Okamoto transformation. This achieves tighter security bounds in the QROM! eprint.iacr.org/2022/365.pdf

SAC is always a nice conference; this year with extra isogenies. Get your paper ready by June 1. See the SAC 2022 webpage for more details.

SPHINCS+ will be standardized! Great work team! Happy that a conservative signature option made it. csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-…

We have a PhD position opening in our group. If you are interested in working with Kathrin Hövelmanns and me this may be interesting to you.

PhD position opening in Quantum Cryptanalysis, joint supervision with Michael Walter, become part of the great QSI Marie-Curie ITN with fantastic researchers like @cmajenz, Andreas Hülsing, Kathrin Hövelmanns, Christian Schaffner. iacr.org/news/item/18950

Joint work with @cmajenz and Andreas Hülsing accepted at Asiacrypt! 😊 Gist: Attacking post-quantum encryption by exploiting decryption failures won't be much more successful quantumly than classically, instead of enjoying a Grover-like improvement. (More details in Chris' tweet.)

The Crypto Working Group is restarting: Friday, March 17, 10:15-16:00h at De Kargadoor, Oudegracht 36, in Utrecht. So if you are in NL or nearby join us for 4 great talks and socializing.

I am hiring postdocs: jobs.tue.nl/en/vacancy/pos… So if you want to work with me and Kathrin Hövelmanns please apply.

I have organized workshops with Chris and written several papers with him. Chris is an amazing person to work with. So, if you are looking for a PhD position right now, I can wholeheartedly suggest this opportunity.

Our PQC research team at SandboxAQ has an opening for a senior research scientist position. If you are interested in working in a great team, check out the advertisement.

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. cic.iacr.org/i/1/1

We have an opening in my team at TU/e M&CS for an assistant professor position on verification of cryptographic implementations. This position is funded by a Dutch collaborative research grant and comes with a PhD position. jobs.tue.nl/en/vacancy/ass…

For Dutch readers, een goed en toegankelijk artikel van NRC over de post-quantum migratie. Met bijdrage van Andreas Hülsing, Tanja Lange en ondergetekende. nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/09…
