In October, I gave a talk about post-quantum #cryptography at the #OpenSSL Conference in Prague. Yesterday, the video dropped. If you're interested, head to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXHEweoTj60!

Oops. Cryptographers cancel election results after losing decryption key.
Moving Beyond the NPM elliptic Package
If you're in a hurry, head on over to soatok/elliptic-to-noble and follow the instructions in the README in order to remove the elliptic package from your project and all dependencies in node_modules. Art: CMYKat Why replace the elliptic package? Yesterday, the Trail of Bits blog published a post about finding cryptographic bugs in the elliptic library (a Javascript package on NPM) by using the Wycheproof.

I think the best summary until now about Post-quantum cryptography is from Peter Gutmann in the cryptography mailing-list.
Given that after 20 years and hundreds of millions of dollars spent researchers have yet to demonstrate a single legitimate cryptanalysis result using a quantum physics experiment, it's a bit like arguing over which brand of unicorn repellent is the most cromulent.
The current state of things in terms of pure vs. hybrid systems seems to be:
- Governments = Pure: “We’re putting all our eggs in one basket and hoping that the dial stops spinning at ‘not broken’”
- Everyone else = Hybrid: “We trust this new stuff so little that we’re requiring you use the crypto that we claim is broken alongside it”
Peter.

I'm again, in #Warsaw #Poland till the end of December!
Ping me to meet up for a chat if you're into:
- #cryptography
- #FOSS
- #decentralization and #p2p
Etc.
My dream? To create a new democratic web where people are citizens. I also like weird art and weird projects in general.

We are excited to share our latest work on making secure messaging more decentralized!
We've developed DMLS – a new approach that brings fork resilience to the MLS protocol, solving a key challenge in distributed systems while maintaining Forward Secrecy.
This work was made possible by eQualitie, who funded it as part of the SplinterCon Breakout program.
