I am stepping down from the board of the MPC Alliance after nearly five years of work there, including being the Secretary for many of them. Not stopping work on MPC (far from it!). See you at the Real World MPC conference in Sofia in March! mpcalliance.org/blog/mpc-allia…

Thrilled to share a new paper written with my colleagues -- Trilithium (Star Trek reference is intended). Our protocol is secure in UC model and allows two parties to construct FIPS compliant quantum-safe signature! You could read an eprint here - eprint.iacr.org/2025/675.pdf

Together with several of my colleagues I have signed this letter from EDRi to request that that a science-based approach will be used to deal with encryption in law enforcement investigations. edri.org/our-work/techn… a short🧵

Strong encryption is essential to protect digital society & the right to privacy. Law enforcement has an important role, but we should make sure that no solutions are imposed that allow for mass surveillance or that introduce weaknesses that open the door to adversarial actors.

I'm often asked if I'll redo the 2019 quantum factoring estimate. Denser storage by yokes, smaller magic factories by cultivation, slimmer approx arithmetic by Chevignard et al… surely the cost is lower now? Yes, it's lower now. security.googleblog.com/2025/05/tracki… arxiv.org/abs/2505.15917

✨Last talk of the morning session! Jan Willemson presents: "Recommendations to OSCE/ODIHR (on how to give better recommendations for Internet voting)" This talk highlights how some recommendations are impossible to follow or require non-trivial trade-offs #EVoteID25

☀️Wrapping up Day 2 @ #EVoteID25 with the panel: “Post-Quantum Transformation in E-Voting” Chair: Peter Rønne Panelists: Thomas Haines, Audhild Høgåsen, Riccardo Longo, Olivier Pereira, Jan Willemson An engaging discussion on how post-quantum could transform electronic voting
