The accepted talks for Real World Crypto 2026 are now online: rwc.iacr.org/2026/accepte... Thanks to everyone who submitted, and we look forward to the discussions at the symposium.

EXCLUSIVE: This tech has been used to track heads of state, journalists, and maybe even you. @lighthousereports.com uncovered a vast surveillance empire whose untraceable tech has been used to target people in more than 100 countries. It has operated under the radar for decades. Until now.

My team launched this today! A new tip-off platform based on research from the University of Cambridge. It's been a great collaboration :) For more technical details on the underlying protocol (CoverDrop) check out coverdrop.org

We launched CoverDrop 🎉 providing sources with a secure and anonymous way to talk to journalists. Having started five years ago as a PhD research project, this now ships within the Guardian app to millions of users—all of which provide cover traffic. Paper, code, and more info: www.coverdrop.org

SCOOP: Researchers from China are to be allowed access to half a million UK GP records despite western intelligence agencies’ fears about the authoritarian regime amassing health data. My latest @theguardian.com investigation. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
