FYI, I'll be schmoozing around at EUROCRYPT 2026, May 10-14 in Rome. My employer Horizen Labs is a sponsor of this amazing cryptography conference. I'll be giving a talk at the affiliated event CAW (Cryptography Applications Workshop) on the latest updates of Shufflecake, including juicy news on hidden OS. Pass by to say hi!

Shufflecake will be presented at the Crypto Applications Workshop (CAW) in Rome, Italy (co-located with EUROCRYPT 2026 and many other crypto events), on May 10th, 2026. This talk is going to be an update of the latest news and status of the project in 2026, including juicy news on the Hidden OS!

Shufflecake

i wonder if the #iacr #levchin #prize at #realworldcrypto this year goes to trump?

FYI: #asciidoc with #asciidoctor #bibtex stumbles upon slashes in bibtex #citation keys
it prints the citation key in the bibliography before the entry.

This happens with all the #IACR #eprint #cryptology paper citations generated on their site

Removing the slash from the citekey is a workaround

It's public!

Fast Lightweight Online Encryption is a new secure way to do online (think "streaming") authenticated encryption with support for random access.

It comes with a public specification, reference code, test vectors, and a paper proving security.

Well, that’s embarrassing.

On the plus side, I guess it works.

Cryptology firm cancels elections after losing encryption key

The International Association for Cryptologic Research - created to study secure communication - said it was an "honest human mistake."

Oops. Cryptographers cancel election results after losing decryption key

One of the world’s premier security organizations has canceled the results of its annual leadership election after an official lost an encryption key needed to unlock results stored in a verifiable and privacy-preserving voting system

Oops. Cryptographers cancel election results after losing decryption key.

Voting system required three keys. One of them has been "irretrievably lost."

Ars Technica

🫣

A firm considered one of the leading global voices in encryption has cancelled the announcement of its leadership election results after an official lost the encrypted key needed to unlock them.

The International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) uses an electronic voting system which needs three members, each with part of an encrypted key, to access the results.
