Important career update

@gareth-t-davies.bsky.social from NXP shows how secure multi-party computation and homomorphic encryption make it possible to train models and run analyses without revealing the underlying data. He will also join our upcoming webinar to explain these techniques in detail. youtu.be/TWR9jmW23xg

New paper! 🛂 We managed to get OCAKE, a post-quantum candidate PAKE, running with ML-KEM on a super tiny chip that is built for ECC and used today in real passports/ID cards. It was faster than we thought it would be! Next-gen chips with dedicated support will be even faster 🚀

I gave a talk at the NIST Crypto Agility workshop last week, the slides are now online: csrc.nist.gov/Events/2025/... I wanted to get across that further (protocol) standardization still needs to happen in many places, and not reinventing the wheel will make agility easier and PQC migration faster.
