#external_event Workshop on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at CCS 24’ 🥳 Make sure to check the call for participation (sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2024/ca… ), program (sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2024/at…) and funding options (easychair.org/cfp/ccs_dei2024)!

This is a very nice website on what women in academia face,as "We start our summary by stating common gender stereotypes such as "women just need to act like men to succeed in academia" or "academia is fair and objective - women are just not good enough". sites.google.com/view/womeninac…

We just sent out our first e-mail on the very new and shiny Winc mailing list 🥳🎉 we hope to reach even more people with it. So, share to all your women & allies in cryptography peers 👉 listes.services.cnrs.fr/wws/subscribe/…

@JSotakova Congratulations ❤️

Preparing for my defense in 2 days; time to share my thesis ;) hdl.handle.net/11245.1/2fd0b7… some other useful (?) formats coming soon on my website jana-sotakova.github.io (eg isogeny background chapters only; intro/abstract, code generating pictures I like to use)

We are going to be holding our first Women & Allies in Cryptography at Eurocrypt2024! Are you a person identifying as a woman or an ally attending? Ping us! cc. @KBoudgoust @TheAlliBishop @r_mahshid97 check the info here womenincryptography.com/workshop/

On Tuesday, our very own Krijn Reijnders gave an excellent talk on Kummer surfaces, and applications to SQIsign! If you missed the talk, or just want to watch it again, the recording is now available. youtube.com/watch?v=XNbqgx…

Come work with us!

So happy that Crossfyre is happening again this year as an affiliated event to Eurocrypt 2024 🎉

**Call for sponsors** If you want to support students from around the globe to attend CrossFyre 2024 please contact us!

Save the date!! CrossFyre will be held 24th of May 2024 as an affiliated event to Eurocrypt '24 in Zurich, Switzerland.

The EU is proposing highly concerning cryptography regulations: #eIDAS #Article45 would enable any EU member state to eavesdrop on and tamper with the web traffic of any EU citizen and would also severely limit the security measures that can be taken to protect the European web.

Today @alberto_sonnino from @Mysten_Labs will talk about "Narwhal and Bullshark: DAG-based Mempool and Efficient BFT Consensus" at the @uclisec research seminar. The talk will take place on @Zoom and will be live-streamed to @YouTube. More details: sec.cs.ucl.ac.uk/seminars/ CYL!

We are excited to announce the second iteration of The Brainstorm Sessions, at Eurocrypt 2024! This year, we have a two-day event on Saturday, May 25, and Sunday, May 26, similar to last years event. More info: isogeny.club/eurocrypt P.S. The call for stickers will soon open.

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …

@isogenies cool slides!!

For those who weren't in Eindhoven, or online for the event, I put the slides on my website. Essentially I gave an informal overview of isogenies between elliptic products and the work we've been doing for both the SIDH attacks and also for the FESTA PKE giacomopope.com/talks/SIAM-AG-…

I gave my first cryptography conference talk today, and although the topic was very different from my old research in supergravity, I made sure the names were similar enough by talking about isogenies between superspecial abelian varieties

@isogenies @gustavosbanegas @claucece but i agree, this is a very important question to which the answer is 🇵🇹

@mariascrs @gustavosbanegas @claucece I’m going to go shopping and see what I can find tomorrow hah

Very important poll on who produces the world’s best olive oil 🫒

@gustavosbanegas @isogenies @claucece oliveira da serra is also a standard but good brand

@isogenies @claucece I would say: Esporão, Gallo or Andorinha :) they are like big brands and good.

@chelseakomlo @e1izabethcrites congrats!!

Really happy to have received news yesterday that myself, @e1izabethcrites, and Mary Maller won the Best Early Career Paper Award at Crypto 2023 for our paper “Fully Adaptive Schnorr Threshold Signatures” eprint.iacr.org/2023/445 💪💃😊

@EllipticKiwi @Drago1729 @dfaranha we've now added a video on there for anyone interested!

Might just buy twitter blue to post the full version of the SIKE song. For now enjoy the first 140 seconds!

Or I could just post the other half
