The International Association for Cryptologic Research has used heliosvoting.org – my online voting system – for a number of years. This year, a trustee lost their secret key. The election has to be re-run. Below, a few thoughts that didn't fit in the NYT piece. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/w...

This paper is about fault injection on real Intel CPUs, resulting in interesting primitives such as instruction skip. Read the uasc.cc/proceedings2... and/or attend uASC in Leuven to learn more!

uASC 2026 will take place on February 3, 2026, in Leuven, Belgium, hosted by KU Leuven. Have you submitted your paper yet? 🤔 Cycle 2 Paper Submission Deadline is November 4, 2025! 👉 uasc.cc #uasc26

Europeans with credible expertise in cryptography and/or computer security should participate in this call by the 🇪🇺 Commission to explain to them, in terms that politicians can understand, why providing access to communications data to law enforcement … berthub.eu/articles/pos...

So What Do We Know QC To Be Good For? - Simulating quantum physics and chemistry - Breaking current public-key encryption (RSA, DH, ECC) - Eventually, modest (square-root) speedups from Grover - We’ll have to get lucky for most other applications! (The world has been systemically lied to about this)

uASC 2026 will take place on February 3, 2026, in Leuven, Belgium, hosted by KU Leuven. We can't wait to see you next year! Cycle 1 Paper Submission Deadline is July 15, 2025! 👉 uasc.cc #uasc26

Without setting out to do so, Andrew Krapivin recently upended the common thinking around hash tables — one of the best-studied tools in computer science. Steve Nadis reports: www.quantamagazine.org/undergraduat...

We updated the uASC deadline: it is **January 28 AoE**, which is 1 day after the DIMVA notification. Take a look at our CFP. Any insights around microarchitecture security are interesting. uasc.cc

AMD’s trusted execution environment blown wide open by new BadRAM attack #BadRAM #AMD arstechnica.com/information-...

#BadRAM just went public: Tampering with DRAM modules allows attackers to bypass SEV-SNP's write protection and forging attestation reports, breaking all trust in #SEV-SNP. Joint work with Jesse De Meulemeester, Luca Wilke, @sublevado.bsky.social, Ingrid Verbauwhede and Jo Van Bulck badram.eu

Got some negative or unrealistic threat model results that still bring interesting insights? A side channel that requires root to leak something from the kernel? Reproducing prior work? Somewhat related to microarchitecture? Here's your venue: uasc.cc
