Check out our latest episode with @juliaangwin.com in on why journalism should work more like a mathematical proof than a pile of quotes, her latest book "On Courage," and why she may be a mathematical dissident. breakingmath.substack.com/p/can-math-s...

Can Math Save Journalism?

From Mathematician to Pulitzer Winner: Julia Angwin's Case for Journalism as Proof

Somewhat behind schedule, but the Classic McEliece standard is finally out. www.tue.nl/en/news-and-...

Professor Tanja Lange and team contribute to new global standard for post-quantum cryptography

For the wider digital world, this development is another step towards protecting communications against the arrival of practical quantum computing.

Update on "Security in Times of Surveillance" We understand that some of you cannot attend because of the heat .Our expectation is that TU/e will be open and the AC will be on. We try to stream the talks on YouTube t.co/OX4HK9byMz Program etc eipsi.win.tue.nl/surveillance...

I am looking for a (fully funded) PhD student working with me in Glasgow on provable security! www.iacr.org/jobs/item/4226

Since I wrote some papers on search in the past, I was naturally curious about how AI will affect search. My experience so far has been pretty disappointing, because gemini is miserable at actually pointing to sources that justify the stuff it generates. If you press it, gemini just starts lying. 🧐

Almost all talk titles are online now. Please register before Friday so that we can order catering eipsi.win.tue.nl/surveillance...

The EU has a survey open on the QKD network EuroQCI, asking how they should invest their money. I've sent them some idea. (hint: replace by PQC). You can also still contribute your input. Not sure how much longer this will stay up: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

We've now posted the schedule for the event. Come for a day of insightful and engaging talks. eipsi.win.tue.nl/surveillance...

.@hennavirkkunen.bsky.social are you aware of the letter attributed to you www.politico.eu/article/eu-c... ? How can you protect our rights and data while giving US companies the right to search our messages? Ever wondered why they want you to extend the permit? This is not about protecting children

Commissioners pile pressure on Parliament to pass child sexual abuse bill

Scanning tech platforms for child abuse material will become illegal in Europe early next month unless lawmakers pass Hail Mary fix on Thursday.

Our "Joint statement of scientists and researchers on the EU Presidency’s new proposal for the Child Sexual Abuse Regulation" csa-scientist-open-letter.org/Sep2025 has reached more than 700 signatures. If you're scientist, consider co-signing.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...
