Quantum computers could imperil the security of confidential electronic information, such as emails. To counter this threat, NIST has finalized its set of three encryption algorithms designed to withstand a future quantum computer’s cyberattacks: nist.gov/news-events/ne…

To all the students searching for an adviser: check out to Flavio Toffalini. He's one of the best and most passionate advisers I've seen. He's building his research group in Bochum and looking for great PhD students, so reach out to him! I wonder if he'd take me as a post doc? 🤔

The casafant enjoys his weekend at justCTF finals at HackYeah in Krakow looking on the two FluxFingers teams racing to the top! Thank you Horst Goertz Institute for IT Security for the support & justCatTheFish for the awesome event!

NIST has posted a schedule for transition to post-quantum cryptography; this will be highly influential in driving the industry. Waiting for the EU's position now.
