Deadline for submitting to TPMPC is today (AoE). Send a 2-page abstract with your latest results in MPC and come join the workshop in Aarhus - also ft. special days on "MPC in the wild" with @proof_nerd and another day to celebrate Ivan Damgård's 70th! multipartycomputation.com/tpmpc-2026

For those interested in #scholarlypublishing and #TeXLaTeX , I've released most of the system we use for publishing cic.iacr.org as open source now. See github.com/IACR/latex-sub…

If you use cryptobib, you might wish to know about publish.iacr.org/cryptobib so you can extract just the entries you want.

Congrats to Damiano Abram of #aarhuskrypto who defended his PhD "Distributed (Correlation) Samplers" this week phd.nat.au.dk/about-us/curre…

ZK Workshop in Edinburgh Sept. 2-6. Apply to attend/give a short talk by June 14: icms.org.uk/ZeroKnowledgeP… We have funding for students/postdocs! Speakers (TBC): @jon_katz, @dariofiore0, @TomGur, @crypto_carsten, @schollster, Lisa Kohl, @arantxazapico, @KhanhCrypto, @13portocale

New arithmetic garbling with as low as 1 Damgård-Jurik ciphertext/gate using cool tricks from DDLog and HSS. Check it out if you also love #garbledcircuits and #MPC as much as I do :) w/ Pierre Meyer, Lance Roy and @schollster eprint.iacr.org/2024/820

@4ndre3sser @IACRcrypto @Paolo_Santini_ Nice work, congrats! Happy to see more solid foundations for regular SD :)

Thrilled to announce that our paper got accepted at @IACRcrypto 2024. Big shout-out to @Paolo_Santini_ for an amazing collaboration. See you at Crypto! :)

@wangxiao1254 @mkskeller @EmmanuelaOrsini Organic crypto, no artificial security proofs. Just like the good old days ;)

Chen’s paper has a bug, independently discovered by Hongxun Weng and Thomas Vidick, that he doesn’t know how to fix. If I understand correctly, in its current form the paper doesn’t yield any improvement on prior algorithms. eprint.iacr.org/2024/555

After a long slog, by many, many people, the first issue of the Communications on Cryptology is out. This is a new Diamond Open Access (free to publish, free to view) journal from the IACR. cic.iacr.org/i/1/1

This looks serious. Damn serious. Some lattice expert can say something about it? eprint.iacr.org/2024/555

The next NordiCrypt will be held on March 22nd in Copenhagen, organized by the cryptographers at @DTU_Compute (sites.google.com/view/nordicryp…) Sign up and submit your great CRYPTO submissions as talks :)

@badcryptobitch I'm not sure (Alex and Lennart did the implementation) - it doesn't need any garbled circuits but maybe uses some tools from that crate

@schollster @xxiang_xie @sinu_eth Looking here github.com/AarhusCrypto/M… Does it need the fancy-garbling crate?

What is the state of the art on Ring-based ZK? Extra points for constructions with open source code.

@xxiang_xie @sinu_eth @badcryptobitch QS can also work mod 2^k eprint.iacr.org/2022/819 And it comes with an open source implementation :)

@sinu_eth @badcryptobitch QS is pretty nice, but I think it is still based on fields?

@julian_loss Does your co-author graph also make a Fibonacci spiral?

A random fact that fascinated me today: I had 185 citations on Google Scholar in 2021, 311 in 2022 and 523 in 2023. The rate of increase in citations from 2021 to 2022 and 2022 to 2023 is the the same up to *three positions past the decimal point (1.681)*! Is this a glitch?

@KBoudgoust @csaudk Sad you're leaving! But it's been a wonderful 2 years with you here :)

The first edition of the new IACR Communications in Cryptology is finally kicking off! The first call for papers is now online: cic.iacr.org/callforpapers Consider to submit your best results if...

Congrats to Alexander Munch-Hansen who today defended his PhD "Quattro Formaggi: Zero-Knowledge from VOLE" phd.nat.au.dk/about-us/curre… #aarhuskrypto

The lecture notes of "Cryptographic Computing", the master level course I teach together with @schollster, are available at orlandi.dk/crycom #aarhuskrypto

After some clean up and small optimizations during the summer months, a new version of the #FAEST reference implementation is available. Checkout version 1.0.1 from github.com/faest-sign/fae… For more information on #FAEST, see faest.info
