The Cryptographic Applications Workshop (CAW) happens this Sunday in Rome! Just a reminder that if you're not coming to Rome you can still attend remotely. Just register here: forms.gle/2JZ7hLs8diQM... before May 8. See caw.cryptanalysis.fun for more infos and our program.

Announcing the preliminary program for Cedarcrypt — our inaugural applied cryptography summer school and conference, July 13–16, 2026 at the American University of Beirut - Mediterraneo in Paphos, Cyprus! An absolutely fantastic program awaits — check it out, register today, and share widely!

The program for our Eurocrypt affiliated event CAW on May 10 is (mostly) finalized and published on: caw.cryptanalysis.fun We received many super exciting submissions! To register, select our workshop during conference registration on the Eurocrypt website once that opens: eurocrypt.iacr.org/2026/

Submission week for the Cryptographic Application Workshop (CAW), an affiliated event at Eurocrypt'26 in Rome! Please submit your talk proposals on constructive real-world crypto using the following instructions before Jan 23, 2026 AoE. All infos on: caw.cryptanalysis.fun.

The call for talks for CAW 2026 (a workshop affiliated with Eurocrypt) is out! This year's motto is "cryptography under real-world constraints and threat models", but other applied cryptography is also very welcome. All info is on: caw.cryptanalysis.fun.

Our WOOT paper went out of disclosure today. We found 5 attacks on the Master Lock D1000 which allow unauthorized unlocking, bypassing access revocation, forging log entries, and causing DoS. If you're in Seattle, come to our talk given by Chengsong, one of the students I mentored for this paper.

The CAW workshop at Eurocrypt 2025 is just around the corner! Quick reminder that you can sign up (for free) to attend remotely by filling out this form until tomorrow (afternoon CEST): forms.gle/5JUMmYBj9LHW... The program on the website: caw.cryptanalysis.fun

This year, #CAW offers the option for remote participation to make our Eurocrypt workshop accessible to the members of our community that cannot or prefer not to travel to Madrid. Register on our website before May 2 (free): caw.cryptanalysis.fun The updated program is below.

#CAW offers again a few registration waivers. We hope these waivers will help local (grad/undergrad) students to attend our workshop and get a preview of cryptography beyond the classroom and make their first connections to the community. More info: caw.cryptanalysis.fun#student-regi...

The preliminary program for the Cryptographic Applications Workshop (CAW) at Eurocrypt'25 is out. #CAW focuses on the construction and analysis of cryptography built for practice. This thread gives a quick overview; the full program and abstracts are here: caw.cryptanalysis.fun#program

Did you get your Eurocrypt decision today? And now either know you'll attend and would like to give an extra talk or need a different reason to go to Madrid? Then consider submitting a talk on applied, constructive cryptography to CAW. Our call for talks is open until Feb 7.

The 2nd iteration of the Cryptographic Applications Workshop (#CAW) will be at Eurocrypt 2025! #CAW focuses on the construction and analysis of cryptography built for practice, bridging the gap between research and real-world applications. Our call of talks is currently open: caw.cryptanalysis.fun
