Irène Curie fellow at @TUeindhoven. I like quantum-resistant crypto, math and philosophy. 🐘 QuantumBat, roaming infosec.
Eindhoven
Joined March 2020
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.)
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,

Professors/teachers, I need your expertise: I'm currently thinking about if/how one could render lecture notes more accessible for people that are neurodiverse. Any advice, suggestions, references?

Fantastic news: I feel very honoured that I'll recive an NWO Veni grant! 🎉 This grant will allow me to devote three years of research on how we can make the internet 'future-proof' by strengthening its cryptographic protection against quantum attacks. https://t.co/m5eoZKAyFf

I've seen some bad vendor takes around public disclosures of vulnerabilities, but this one takes the cake. Flabbergasting!
There’s a new paper on Threema’s old communication protocol. Apparently, today’s academia forces researchers and even students to hopelessly oversell their findings. Here’s some real talk:

I was kind of surprised by PKC announcing an interactive rebuttal phase yesterday evening, going from r/n til Dec'29. Bit bad timing/short notice (you know? Christmas?), particularly if reviews are missing and/or adversarial. Anyhow, here's a rare recording of reviewer B.

Who is already on 🐘? Migrating my list didn't work as nicely as I'd hoped, unfortunately. (<- QuantumBat, to be found in the 'infosec' jungle.)
