Very serious vlog about very serious things Biggest protest to date outside the courthouse in support of Roman Storm
Yesterday, @cathieyun gave a great talk at @ietf 123 on the importance of standardizing Sigma protocols and our ongoing work toward a standard for zero-knowledge proofs! You can watch the talk here: youtube.com/watch?v=rZEM4H…
Eurocrypt! Tomorrow I’ll be speaking at a few workshops in Madrid: 9:45 AM at caw.cryptanalysis.fun — on anonymous credentials 11:00 AM at permutationbasedcrypto.org — on ideal permutations and zk proofs 4:35 PM back at — in a chat with Carmela
"Beyond the Circuit" was accepted at IACR's Communications in Cryptology! It contains a few simple protocols for simplifying foreign arithmetic in zero-knowledge proofs. Formally we introduce "Σ-reductions": "Σ-protocols" with "reductions of knowledge". 🗞️ cic.iacr.org/p/2/1/23/pdf
We are excited to share that we are designing & implementing anonymous credentials within OONI Probe to protect and increase trust in OONI data. 🐙🛡️ Learn more through the literature review on anonymous credentials by @mmaker: ooni.org/post/2025-prob…
new paper on anonymous credentials is out! eprint.iacr.org/2024/1552.pdf
MIFARE Classic (FM11RF08S) cards have been found to be backdoored by the manufacturer, allowing all user-defined keys to be dumped with physical access. eprint.iacr.org/2024/1275.pdf
Three decades after Shor's breakthrough paper, NIST has posted the first post-quantum cryptographic FIPS standards 203: ML-KEM nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/fips/… 204: ML-DS nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/fips/… 205: state-based hash nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/fips/…
I was invited again to talk at NIST! this time about boring cryptography (still zkps tho) 🗓️ Wednesday, July 24⋅4:00 – 5:00pm CEST csrc.nist.gov/presentations/…
[📢 We are hiring - Postdoc position] We invite applications for several fully-funded postdoctoral positions (1-2 years) to work on cryptography. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, zero-knowledge proofs, [...]
