I am honored to be one of the local co-organizers of Latincrypt'25, in Medellín, Colombia, together with Prof. Daniel Cabarcas (my undergrad and master advisor) and Javier Verbel, my long time colleague and friend.

Here are 5 reasons to attend Latincrypt 2025 in Medellín:

[Octavio Pérez Kempner @octaviopk]

Well, well… need to find a salsa/cumbia place here in Tokyo. Can’t go to Medellín all rusty!

[sofía celi @claucece]

Extremely happy to announce that Latincrypt2025 will be held in 'la tierra del olvido', Medellín, Colombia with the great organization of Daniel Cabarcas, @deescuderoo , and more! Submit your best works as Latincrypt is great and for the diversity https://t.co/fo37sxYdnm

[Arantxa Zapico 🧉 @arantxazapico]

- End of mistery -

Latincrypt 2025 will be held in Medellín, one of the most peculiar and interesting cities we have in Latam.

And Colombia, well, what can I say about the happiest country on Earth

[Criptolatino @criptolatinoOrg]

It has been decided! The best Cryptographic Conference.. in the world! #latincrypt2025.. will be held in Medellín, Colombia!

New exciting work by Ecuadorian cryptographer Sofía Celi, and her collaborator Alex Davidson. Congratulations!

[sofía celi @claucece]

New paper! Together with @alxdavids we introduce 'Chalamet' a keyword-based PIR scheme! https://t.co/Y89hUEF2Rh We also introduce a framework so that any index LWE-based PIR scheme can be transformed to keyword-based via the usage of binary fuse filters

[Criptolatino @criptolatinoOrg]

Excellent work co-authored by Latin-American researcher Sebastian Angel @sebsgangel, Raj and Neera Singh Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania!

Excited that our paper "MuCache: A General Framework for Caching in Microservice Graphs" was accepted at NSDI'24. This work builds a system that caches requests/responses across microservices to avoid duplicating work. MuCache does it automatically, fast, and correctly. 1\2

Great news! Francisco @FRHENR is one of the IACR Directors for 2024-26! We thank all who supported this significant paradigm shift. This is a recognition to an entire life's work, and an important signal for under-represented groups in our field. We're excited for what's next!

[Criptolatino @criptolatinoOrg]

Very interesting blogpost by Colombian Cryptographer Hernán Vanegas!

[Hernán Vanegas @hdvanegasm]

I wrote a blog post on how to use daBits to transform shares from a binary domain to an arithmetic domain, and how to do this conversion explicitly in MP-SDPZ.

Great work by Ecuadorian cryptographer Sofía Celi, Brazilian cryptographer Fabio Campos, and their co-authors!

[sofía celi @claucece]

Our nice MAYO implementation paper is out (the PQC signature scheme)! https://t.co/imbodp5hvv Nibbling MAYO and making it faster ;) With @WardBeullens Matthias J. Kannwischer Basil Hess and @primaboinca

[sofía celi @claucece]

Francisco (@FRHENR) is nominated in this edition to be an IACR Director! He is an excellent awarded cryptographer, that has been a driving force of events that create opportunities for people in the Global South, as Latincrypt. Vote for him in the @IACR_News election!

[Criptolatino @criptolatinoOrg]

Remember fellow cryptographers to cast your vote for the IACR elections! Read statements (https://t.co/IbTUEXL6T3) and choose the candidates that better align with you. Francisco @FRHENR aims at representing cryptographers belonging to the Global South. Isn't it great for all?

[Criptolatino @criptolatinoOrg]

@IACR_News elections are now open! Which means that is also time to ask yourself, why are you not supporting candidates from the global south!

Let us make @IACR_News directorate more open, accepting, and able to communicate with everyone.

Let us all 🗳️ for @FRHENR 💪🎉🪅

[Criptolatino @criptolatinoOrg]

Nothing better after the recent Latincrypt success than reading papers co-authored by Latinas and Latinos! Check out the recent collaboration by Ecuadorian Sofía Celi @claucece and Uruguayan Octavio Pérez @octaviopk (together with their wonderful coauthors) 🇪🇨🇺🇾

[sofía celi @claucece]

Happy this beautiful paper is out! With @octaviopk @ScottGriffy @drl3c7er and Lucjan Hanzlik, we looked at Signatures with Randomizable Keys, found so many nice properties and made an SoK! Check it out: https://t.co/EJrZXgHfE4
