RWC 2025 in Sofia is going to be 🔥 I'm excited to be the co-chair (along with Martin R. Albrecht) of the program committee this year. We have an amazing group of reviewers this year, and we're looking forward to reading the strongest batch of talk submissions yet.

Our paper (with Kamil Doruk Gur) "Verifiable Oblivious Pseudorandom Functions from Lattices: Practical-ish and Thresholdisable" is out on eprint and Doruk will present it at Asiacrypt 2024. Here's my summary: martinralbrecht.wordpress.com/2024/09/21/ver…

My department is recruiting two lecturers (~ assistant professors) kcl.ac.uk/jobs/096025-le… Cryptography is not high on the list of priorities for these ones, though.
