Irène Curie fellow at @TUeindhoven. I like quantum-resistant crypto, math and philosophy.

So excited to see how the communities' work culminated in these new standards. (Also very excited that my work on the FO transformation had such a real-world impact.)

[Nick Sullivan @grittygrease]

It’s here! After 9 years of work, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published its first three standards for post-quantum cryptography.

Meet the standards:
FIPS 203: ML-KEM, intended as the primary standard for general encryption
FIPS 204: ML-DSA, intended as the primary standard for protecting digital signatures
FIPS 205: SLH-DSA, intended as a backup method in case ML-DSA proves vulnerable

“In 2015, NIST initiated the selection and standardization of quantum-resistant algorithms to counter potential threats from quantum computers. After assessing 82 algorithms from 25 countries, the top 15 were identified with global cryptographers' assistance. These were categorized into finalists and alternative algorithms, with draft standards released in 2023. Cybersecurity experts are now encouraged to incorporate these new algorithms into their systems.”

Big news: we (@TUe_MCS @CWInl @Radboud_Uni @UvA_Amsterdam @VUamsterdam @TUeindhoven ) received a Gravitation grant for "Challenges in Cyber Security". I'm very much looking forward to the collaborations and the work ahead. Thanks to all who contributed! https://t.co/SYZ3jCTAmW

[Andreas Hülsing @cr_yp_to]

We have an opening in my team at @TUe_MCS for an assistant professor position on verification of cryptographic implementations. This position is funded by a Dutch collaborative research grant and comes with a PhD position.
