Achievement of the month: I managed to publish a paper at ACM CCS 2024 with a glaring typo in the title 🥰

🥳🎉🥂 We are so thrilled to announce that CASA Speaker Eike Kiltz was awarded today with the Gottfried Wilhelm #Leibniz Prize, Germany's most highly renowned research award. Our heartfelt congratulations, Eike Kiltz!!! DFG public | @[email protected] casa.rub.de/en/news/casa/n… #GWL #DFG

GRandLine presents the first randomness beacon (and DKG) from simple tools with security against t<n/2 adaptive corruptions and *quadratic* one-time setup costs. After setup, GRandLine is asynchronous and produces one random beacon value per round! ia.cr/2023/1887

Been saying this for almost 33 years, thank you!

A random fact that fascinated me today: I had 185 citations on Google Scholar in 2021, 311 in 2022 and 523 in 2023. The rate of increase in citations from 2021 to 2022 and 2022 to 2023 is the the same up to *three positions past the decimal point (1.681)*! Is this a glitch?

Today at midnight, I battled the cold and the darkness to become the 8th fastest ranked half marathoner on the planet in 2024 for a brief moment in time 🥳

Roses are red Security has its price The deadline is finally over But the AGM is still nice

Not quite my PR, but at least my second sub-79 half marathon. Feeling good about running sub-78 in Zürich in April

Great race in St. Wendel today! Despite what Strava is claiming, I set a new PB in the half marathon at 78:16 and managed to get my first 2nd second place finish in a race 🥳 🎆

First lattices, now this… feels like someone is running a DDoS attack on crypto

For the second time now, I've received, in error, an email from ACM CCS 2024 asking me to explain conflicts of interest for a submission. FYI: these emails can be unsettling for junior authors and should not be sent out carelessly. I've never had this happen at any other conference.

What’s up with this ordering?

I’m now on BlueSky! Follow me under my handle @julianloss

One of the best parts about being a researcher is sometimes doing research

Something about this struck a particularly dystopian vibe for me. I definitely needed this today

New paper accepted to SODA ‘25: eprint.iacr.org/2024/770 We give the first protocol for broadcast with sublinear round complexity in dishonest majority that requires only a basic PKI and uniform reference string.

Nice to see so many cryptographers over at bluesky. If you feel (like me), that this app has lost much of its appeal due to excessive bots, ads, and in general, content you don’t want to see, consider joining us!
