Great highlight 1 by @QuantaMagazine on the work done 2 by Keegan Ryan and Nadia Heninger on improving the efficiency of the LLL algorithm using multiple techniques such as recursive structure and precision of numbers involved.
Featuring @ducasleo

#CIFRIS23 is an international event, supported and organized by De Cifris, aimed at bringing together researchers in the field of #cryptography, practitioners, developers, and users to foster cooperation and exchange techniques, tools, experiences, and ideas.
I am creating cryptographic primitives to keep my mind in fettle. I will announce my industrial strength toys from this account. If you are interested in novel ideas then you have come to the right place.
If your jeans don't have room for tools, they're not really jeans; they are denim leotards.
I enjoy lights of every kind: neon, led, candle, lamp, torch, flash, strobe and bright eyes. I enjoy natural lights like fireflies, lightning, and stars at night, rays through fog, and campfires. I am a flashlight geek. I own more flashlights than a shark has teeth.
My imperial hobbies include games with crypto, code, and coffee. My imperial toys include text and smolnet tools. When I am not learning new things I like to fist bump clouds and thunderstorms. Righteo, tornado brah.
There are two great opposing forces in the digital universe: The Skinny Jeans Mafia versus the Baggy Jeans Mafia. My camp shall drive those Skinny Jeansters running away crying over spilled espresso.
Between Silk and Cyanide: A Codemaker's War, 1941-1945
A brilliant World War II cryptographer chronicles his career in the Special Operations Executive, discussing his replacement of outmoded codes with one-time silk-printed codes and showing how he broke de Gaulle's secret code, helped organize secret D-Day armies, and much more.
Complexity Theory’s 50-Year Journey to the Limits of Knowledge
"How hard is it to prove that problems are hard to solve? Meta-complexity theorists have been asking questions like this for decades. A string of recent results has started to deliver answers.
Interesting paper by the Bank for International Settlements on Project Tourbillon, a CBDC with payer anonymity and benchmarking with both classical and quantum-resistant (lattice-based) blind signatures. https://www.bis.org/publ/othp80.pdf #CBDC#Cryptography
I’ve been thinking of posting more about the new things I am reading related to either #InfoSec or #Cryptography. This is mostly just for me to document things!
Since I post a lot of random stuff on here with anything and everything that pops up in my mind, I thought it’d be more suitable for me to create an account that’s more specific to that. @meghana :))
I’ve been studying and researching in applied cryptography for last 6 months. It’s new, scary, fascinating, fun and terrifying all at the same time! I can’t totally explain the amount of back and forth I keep going through with my confidence level about this subject.
So reaching out to people in #cryptography and #AppliedCryptography or #InfoSec on #mastodon! I wanna know more about your work and research and talk to other people in the community to know more and understand!
Without disassembly, there are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 unique permutations in a 3×3 Rubik's Cube. If sufficiently shuffled, that provides ~65 bits security.
Which means recording the colors of each of the 6 faces after two sufficient shuffles is enough to provide at least 128 bits security.
Today I learned that each time you derive an OpenSSH private key (say from an ed25519 private key), by design, you get a slightly different key (12 of the characters will be unique to each exported key even though the keys are equivalent to one another).
The Open Source Cryptography Workshop is returning for 2024, again after #RWC. We’re requesting ideas for sessions from the community, focused on those who build and use open source #cryptography libraries and solutions. Last year we held sessions about bugfinding, adopting #Rustls in libcurl, and clean-sheet #cryptosystem design.
