The "chat control" law is a big step for EU A big step, towards an Orwellian totalitarian ideology Essentially forbidding the use of end-to-end encrypted communication will have many consequences It won't do much to fight crime, since criminals will use secure communication

Wild times at the EDPS 20th anniversary summit: EU Commissioner for Justice Věra Jourová has said the EC proposal for the #CSARegulation would break encryption, and that this is right because of the need to protect children. This is the first time I've *ever* heard the...

Data News en De Standaard zijn de enige media die het chatcontrol dossier opgevolgd hebben. Heel goed dat er vandaag veel aandacht is in de bredere media, maar als je wacht tot de dag van de stemming in de Europese raad zou het kunnen dat het kalf al verdronken is.

Respectfully, your proposal does break encryption. I am happy to spend as much time as you need reviewing in as much detail as you are comfortable with exactly how it breaks encryption, and why this is so dangerous.

.. what I meant to say, is that none of the post-quantum signature schemes are a drop-in replacement for the classical signature schemes we use today. Listen in to learn why.

📣 News! I am excited to announce that I will join MPI for Security & Privacy as tenure-track faculty in October! 🥳 I am very much looking forward to working with my future colleagues at MPI-SP and Ruhr-Universität Bochum 1/2 mpi-sp.org/66902/news_pub…

#award The 2024 IACR Test-of-Time Awards for Crypto go to: 1)"Dual-System Encryption", by Brent Waters. 2)"Reconstructing RSA Private Keys from Random Key Bits", by Nadia Heninger and Hovav Shacham. For more details: iacr.org/testoftime/ Congratulations to the winners!

📢 *Hiring two research assistants (HiWi)* I'm looking for two research assistants (HiWis, must be MSc/BSc students enrolled at a German university) to support us in the international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral FINDHR project. Details: asiabiega.github.io/hiring/FINDHR-…

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…

I am hiring PhD students for my group at RUB. If you have strong implementation skills and are eager to work on problems in automated software testing and program repair, I would be happy to chat at ISSTA Conference in Vienna or simply email me. RT appreciated! yannicnoller.github.io/positions/

Houston, we are below the quantum error correction threshold! 🚀 In “Quantum error correction below the surface code threshold” (arxiv.org/abs/2408.13687), we implement a 101-qubit surface code. Each time we increase the distance by two, the logical error rate is cut in half!

Last week we hosted the end-of-ESCADA workshop at Radboud University celebrating advances in permutation-based cryptography. It was a great success with talks on new results, an interesting panel on standardization and plenty of time for discussions, see eoe.cs.ru.nl

The program for PLAS is online: plas24.github.io! Are you into formal methods/PL for security? Then join our workshop, colocated with CCS, on Oct. 14th in Salt Lake City! We have 2 keynotes by Natasha Fernandes and Binoy Ravindran and 8 promising presentations!

Excited to be part of the team receiving the ACM SIGSAC Distinguished Paper Award 🏆. Congrats Marco Guarnieri, @SCauligi, @YuvalYarom, Peter Schwabe, and w/o X handles: David Wu, David Romero, Chitchanok Cheungsatiansup, and Gilles Barthe!
