Its gonna be in English, but if you join in and find me speaking French, worry not: only the first few minutes are in French (intro to crypto for general audience).

One takeaway from Eurocrypt: the IACR community seems enthusiastic about the idea of a unified submission pipeline for Asiacrypt/Crypto/Eurocrypt

SQIsign is gitting gud

@mr_poivron Dernières nouvelles de SQIsign:

@Shikonaigaming @Prof_Sil_ @MostafaFourar @actoulouse Le +5 dans bac+5 ne veut pas dire 5 points au dessus de la moyenne. Ça veut dire 5 ans d'études en plus...

@mr_poivron La version qui signe actuellement le plus vite est D'autres travaux visent le temps de vérification (point laissé en suspens dans ce papier), l'état de l'art change très vite

@mr_poivron La version originale, effectivement. Mais les dernières avancées permettent de signer en quelques dizaines de millisecondes. Les ancêtres d'Ed25519 n'ont pas toujours été aussi rapides ;)

@clairemmathieu L'ANR le fait :

Postdoc opening in post-quantum cryptography in Lyon! Apply if you like either crypto, number theory, lattices, isogenies, or all of these!

Isogeny-based crypto foundations update: finding a single endomorphism is as hard as finding them all, for supersingular elliptic curves! Excited to share proof and consequences :

ERC grant incoming 😍 If you like crypto, number theory, and French cuisine, keep an eye out for upcoming opportunities 👀

@Darty_Officiel « nous vous invitons à porter plainte auprès des autorités ». Mon père commande un appareil électroménager (volumineux) jamais reçu, soit-disant laissé dans la boîte aux lettres. Réponse de Darty: on peut aller porter plainte. Vraiment ? #MomentsDarty

RT @benediktbuenz: From writing a paper to a little box. VDFs are real 🤯. CC: @_Supranational

@luca_defeo @EllipticKiwi @durumcrustulum 17? The next natural step after dimension 8 is dimension 24.

RT @IACR_News: #ePrint SQISignHD: New Dimensions in Cryptography: P Dartois, A Leroux, D Robert, B Wesolowski

RT @IsogenyClub: Crisp, crispier, crispiest! SQISign goes HD by constructive use of the CD-MM-R attacks! Tuesday 28 March at 17:00 CEST, Pi…

@PierrickDartois @luca_defeo @BootleJonathan In OSIDH, the public keys only contain partial information about the orientation. Without the full orientation, one cannot fully compute the action of the class group. That may make it immune to Kuperberg?

@GondoPloum @kutasp Finding small relations is not easy for a quantum computer (a priori). You'll find the lattice of relations in quantum polynomial time. But finding *short relations* further requires solving a short vector problem

@andreavbasso @Leptan @kennyog Agreed. I actually check ePrint less regularly than I used to, because I have to think twice to find the plain old list of "last papers added, not updated". May I suggest making the homepage title "Recent papers" into a link to that page? I keep trying to click on it.
