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!

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.
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
International Cryptology Association Loses Crypto Keys, Voids Leadership Election

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.
