Our paper on our crypto-agnostic consensus protocol Juggernaut was accepted at Eurocrypt 2025! Check out Yuval's thread and our paper for more details.

[Yuval Efron @ElodinStorm]

Imma makin twitter threads now I guess. New paper! With @jovan_komatovic @dcol97.

Juggernaut is a protocol that enjoys all the benefits that cryptography offers to consensus, while remaining secure even if this crpytography is broken! (1/n)

Huge congrats to Dr. @dcol97 for defending his PhD with flying colours! 🎉 Your work on secure messaging has been awesome and it's been a pleasure collaborating. Keep up the great work!

I had hoped that the EU was going to abandon its plans for mass content scanning. But apparently the EU Presidency has made some meaningless changes, and now the bill looks set to pass in June. https://t.co/SlCxHpEe1v

@isislovecruft @matthew_d_green I believe https://t.co/Bv8VMv375n was the first (https://t.co/ihMqPg1Ltq)

@SolalPirelli @pastrychaser @thisishaoqian @MartinVetterli @EPFL Regardless of whether he's in the 'right' about his overtime claim, don't you think we should support him as fellow students for doing something that is very risky and vulnerable in the face of EPFL management, or do you think we should just stand back and judge?

[Daniel Collins @dcol97]

@thisishaoqian Full support for your actions

The full version of our paper on post-quantum X3DH key exchange, accepted at USENIX Security 2024, is now online! Our protocol K-Waay uses a Frodo key exchange-based split-KEM rather than ring signatures and is therefore very fast. https://t.co/aZ0V6WJTmy @KhanhCrypto @SVaudenay
