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/ecc2… You can sign up up for annoucements
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.

HTTPS encryption is a remarkably good defense against government surveillance. Article 45 proposes to end that. It allows EU governments to mandate trust of their own certificate authorities and forbids browsers from enforcing new security measures.

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!
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
Call for papers for the new IACR journal is out..

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

The first four #kyber challenges were solved on bochum-challeng.es/challenge…. Congratulations to Alexander Karenin and Nour-eddine Rahmani for each solving two. 🥳
Great job guys, keep on going!
We are happy to announce a crypto challenge page bochum-challeng.es to encourage cryptanalysis of post-quantum schemes, starting with some feasible Kyber parameter sets. Please participate, break, receive eternal fame, and enjoy.
