read our new paper "Beyond the Whitepaper: Where BFT Consensus Protocols Meet Reality" to learn more about real-world challenges in BFT consensus protocol implementations https://t.co/jshOs0pBDg
For the first time in ages, new challenges are being added to CryptoHack. To make up for lost time we're adding 50 new challenges including two whole new sections dedicated to zero-knowledge proofs and isogenies.

NIST PQC5: FIPS 203 (Kyber) and 204 (Dilithium) will have relatively minor but compatibility-breaking changes. FIPS 205 (SPHINCS+) probably not. The full slides should be online tomorrow at ( https://t.co/vkWUTGDY0i ) and the final specs are due this summer. (Pictures: FIPS 204.)
The wait is over! Simon's (@merzsp) frying pan is piping hot and ready to sear us some delicious SCALLOPs, tomorrow at 17pm CET, for the premiere of the fourth season of The Isogeny Club!

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 https://t.co/KSszCn16M1 You can sign up up for annoucements
PQC standards are out...
FIPS 203, Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism Standard
FIPS 204, Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Standard
FIPS 205, Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Standard
"FHE should not be seen as a simple encryption algorithm with special properties ready for simplistic deployment, just as textbook RSA should not be seen as a simple encryption algorithm ready for immediate deployment.
FHE needs to be seen within the context of a protocol which provides a cryptographic service. Thus, one needs to combine FHE with other cryptographic primitives and ideas, and one needs to think holistically about the entire system security."
