ZKProofs are getting more efficient.
Ligetron technology from Ligero reduces the time to prove on a standard benchmark from hundreds of hours to just 14.
I have been trying to make sense of the recent proposed quantum algorithm for Learning-With-Errors, and what it means in practice.
To do so I have created a document where I put my thoughts. Some may disagree with these thoughts, some may agree....

It is never too early to get children to be knowledgeable about Cryptography and CyberSecurity.
Luckily Elizabeth Quaglia has written some great resources for parents (and grandparents) wishing to pass onto the next generation a love of the topics....
After a long slog, by many, many people, the first issue of the Communications on Cryptology is out.
This is a new Diamond Open Access (free to publish, free to view) journal from the IACR.

Please support this journal. It is the outcome of a many year community led effort to improve the publication process in cryptography.
I am a clever mathematician and/or physicist. My subject is hard. I can use this hardness to come up with a cool new cryptosystem.
Read relevant undergraduate literature about crypto first?
Dont be silly, I am a clever mathematician and/or physicist.

I feel I am living in an alternative universe today.
Two papers of mine have been reviewed for EuroCrypt and the reports I feel are fair, balanced, well written, and point out useful ways of improving the paper.
