We will be closing the registrations for our AusQRC Workshop soon… Register now if you want to join!

Thank you(!) Melbourne!

Tomorrow, we’ll be announcing the outcomes of Discovery Projects 2025. All Lead Chief Investigators will receive a notification email to check RMS regarding applications. Stay tuned for an update.

My first successful ARC grant! 🏆🥳 This Discovery Project will explore securing fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) against active attacks. FHE has applications in privacy-preserving cloud computation Led by R. Steinfeld & jointly with A. Sakzad and D. Stehle Monash Information Technology

Congratulations to Prof Rashina Hoda 🍉 on the launch of her first book 'Qualitative Research with Socio-Technical Grounded Theory'. 🎉 Get your copy and expert insights into applying #STGT: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… @HumaniSE_Lab

I officially now have the easiest to explain example of a use case of zero-knowledge proofs: how to prove that you’re old enough to use social media in Australia while preserving privacy otherwise

Test-of-time award for Asiacrypt 2009 is awarded two amazing papers on lattice-based cryptography! Big congratulations to my former PhD supervisor and now close collaborator Ron Steinfeld and other recipients including Vadim Lyubashevsky and Damien Stehle!

I have been bothered by a lot of random things I am seeing on this platform. Seeing many people making the move to the “blue space”, I now mostly migrated there too. It’s great there to be seeing what I want to see without a lot of noise. See you on the other side!

Anyone has an idea for these very high volume noises in #Auckland city? are there fireworks?

Did you hear about Willow, Google's new #quantumcomputing chip? 🔋 Dr Muhammed Esgin and world-leading experts weigh in on Cyber Daily about what this means for the future of #cybersecurity: bit.ly/4iJxAXG

Khanh and Eamonn are organising UK Crypto Day on 20 February at King's College London. Registration is free (and open) but required: uk-crypto-day.github.io/2025/02/20/uk-… Help us spread the word and see you there.

We're hiring multiple PhD candidates for our ARC-funded project on fully-homomorphic encryption (FHE), SNARKs & more Job listing 👇 iacr.org/jobs/item/3840 Apply via docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… Some info on PhD at Monash/in Australia mfesgin.github.io/supervision/ Please help to share!

Who would have thought that there is actually an online media platform dedicated to professional networking? Well not me, until recently 😄 I was really using the wrong platform apparently…

We’re honoured to be welcoming Prof Martin Hellman to deliver a distinguished lecture at Monash! This is a talk not to be missed!

Average happiness level across cryptographers: - today: ~80% - after IACR Eurocrypt decisions: ~20%

Where is IACR Crypto this year? 😄

Just one day away from our Distinguished Lecture by ACM Turing Award recipient Prof Martin Hellman on The Imperative for Open Science and the future of geopolitical security! This is a talk not to be missed! It’s online, free & open to anyone interested! events.humanitix.com/distinguished-…

🎥 The recording of our inaugural Distinguished Lecture by Prof Martin Hellman is now available. Thanks to the big crowd who joined the session and for all the great questions! Recording link 👇 monash.edu/it/events/2025… Monash Information Technology #OpenScience #GlobalSecurity #Cryptography

We’re getting close to ePrint 2025/555… is everyone ready for a new cryptography meltdown? #ePrint555

Join us at the 2025 Quantum-Resistant Cybersecurity in Australia (AusQRC) conference to explore how countries worldwide are responding to new post-quantum industry standards – and what Australia must do to protect its digital sovereignty: bit.ly/4oma5pC 📅 8 December
