Thanks again to everyone in the community for such a great summer camp! Have thoughts to share on this year’s #queercon events? From first timer to seasoned attendee - from good, bad, and in-between - take a few minutes to fill out our feedback form! ➡️ https://t.co/cxQVlakqwj
As a fun fact about our village, we're so privacy-focused we entirely forg- omitted taking photos for the first 9 years... and last year (10 year anniversary) we finally took photos including our first ever group photo!!!
...which we still haven't published yet, soon to come!
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.”

@shenanigans_us Sadly lost the gorgeous Taylor badge at the @Queercon party, may it live a beautiful life with a new Swiftie 🥹💙 It lived a happy life at @CryptoVillage & @Queercon, also my friends found the cutest things where it should have been I love my friends 😭✨ Thank you again!!!
Tonight is the night! QueerCon’s Friday Night Party at @defcon from 10p-1a in rooms W325 & @326. There will be games, lights, and don’t forget about the awesome DJ music. Check out the line-up!
Mixed news everyone! Our badge team found a bug, but just like crime, we won't stop! We'll just be a little late with badge pickup 😅 Mixer is on for 4p today (DEFCON badge required), badges will be around at tomorrow's events...
Dr. Amanda Minnich @nmspinach and Gary Lopez from the Microsoft AI Red Team delivered a course at Black Hat titled “AI Red Teaming in Practice.” This course empowered security professionals to systematically red team AI systems, addressing the demands of safeguarding AI technologies. We hope everyone attending Black Hat had the chance to join one of the many incredible training sessions.

Exciting news! I'll be speaking at @defcon on Creator Stage 2 on Saturday from 1-1:30 about Locksport competitions around the world. Then at 2:30 I'll be doing a book signing @nostarch booth in the vendor area. I hope you can join me!
Do you want to ensure you get a #QueerCon electronic badge? Some are still available for pre-registration at https://t.co/cdQQLmLpiq. Others will be given out on-site for those who are actively getting to know each other and we notice you at our events.
