@veorq @fffmath_crypto I would be happy to see some more Kyber challenges solved. We will soon provide fresh ones, for McEliece and Dilithium.

@fffmath_crypto @AlexanderMay10 thanks, so it's already a thing! bochum-challeng.es/challenges/kyb…

RSA Challenges are from 1991 and broken up to RSA250 (829 bits) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Facto… Would it now make sense to have Kyber challenges?

I seek to fill a Postdoc position in the field of Machine learning security in my group at the Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany. The position is offered for up to 18 months but can be extended beyond. Further information about my group is available here: informatik.rub.de/infsec/

Happy to announce that ECC 2024, the 25th Workshop on Elliptic Curve Cryptography, will take place in Taipei, Taiwan Oct 30 - Nov 01, 2024. The workshop will be preceeded by an autumn school on isogenies. For more see troll.iis.sinica.edu.tw/ecc24/index.sh… You can sign up up for annoucements

@MattNiessner Most researchers will be shocked at the number of authors. Researchers that work at large physics experiments like particle accelerators might take a minute to spot anything unusual. (Credit to @jorgecham for the chart)

Brilliant explainer on why Article 45 is a disaster in the making for security on the web.

🚨Big Announcement 🚨 CBCrypto 2024 will be in Zurich, on May 25-26 ** affiliated event with Eurocrypt 2024 ** cb-crypto.org But who are our invited speakers?? Solve these puzzles to find out 🤓🤓

Today we celebrated the second anniversary of CS@Bochum. 🥳Feeling proud to be part of this success story. Great students, great faculty! 🫶 Keep on going. #RUB #CASA #MPI-SP

There is a new workshop in town! ***Advances in Asymmetric Cryptanalysis*** (AAC '24, @AAC_Workshop) is an ACNS24 (@acns_2003 ) affiliated workshop. It covers the whole spectrum of cryptanalysis! More infos at aac-24.tii.ae. Submission deadline: 15th of November!

@csplator @uni_kassel @ntnucrypto Congratulations, and welcome back. 🇩🇪

Our new paper "Leaky McEliece: Secret Key Recovery From Highly Erroneous Side-Channel Information" is now on eprint (ia.cr/2023/1536). Joint work with @lambdafu, Chitchanok Chuengsatiansup, @AlexanderMay10 and @yuvalyarom. 1/3

Very happy to announce that our two papers (1) "Too Many Hints — When LLL Breaks LWE" (with @AlexanderMay10), (2) "Solving the Hidden Number Problem for CSIDH and CSURF via Automated Coppersmith" (with Jonas Meers), got accepted at Asiacrypt. 1/6

Awesome PQC program in autumn 2024 @InHenriPoincare

Call for papers for the new IACR journal is out.. cic.iacr.org/callforpapers Please support this journal. It is the outcome of a many year community led effort to improve the publication process in cryptography.

Our open access book on human factors in #privacy research is finally published 🤩 Thanks to all our contributors and the RTG Privacy and Trust from @TUDarmstadt for making this possible link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

New week, new #kyber challenges solved on bochum-challeng.es/challenges/kyb…. Congratulations to @cryptopenguin15 for breaking Kyber-144 (15h), and to Alexander Karenin for cracking Kyber-176 (76h). 😳

@cryptopenguin15 Nice, congratulations. Blocksize quite smaller than estimated, interesting. Fine for you if we add your Lund University affiliation on our webpage?

@Cryptomaeher Not that much different from teaching crypto. 😉

"Teaching" a 3-year old to ride a bike is a very odd experience. There's very little theoretical knowledge about it you can successfully impart. It's mainly giving them a push and hoping for the best until they stop falling over.

The first four #kyber challenges were solved on bochum-challeng.es/challenges/kyb…. Congratulations to Alexander Karenin and Nour-eddine Rahmani for each solving two. 🥳 Great job guys, keep on going!
