A table listing total operations, number of qubits, and Toffoli-gate count for Google's low-gate and low-qubit implementations, and Trail of Bits' implementation. The Trail of Bits implementation beats Google's on every metric.

Two weeks ago, Google published a paper proving in zero-knowledge that they had an efficient implementation of Shor's algorithm.

Today, Trail of Bits can prove that we have an even better implementation which beats Google's on all metrics! 🫢

One of the reasons why we’re having so many problems over the past decade is because we’re still living from the colossal economic shock of Brexit, which is causing more permanent damage than this energy price shock is likely to do. Baron O'Neill of Gatley, Economist and Former Conservative Government Minister.

Jim O'Neill, Baron O'Neill of Gatley, the English economist best known for coining the term BRIC, has named Brexit as a 'colossal economic shock', and the reduce in productivity has been 'exaggerated by our rather odd decision to leave the EU.'

In a blatant act of provocation yesterday, Sadiq Khan allowed Christians to perform the Passion of Jesus in Trafalgar Square - a disgraceful show of dominance by a religion from the middle east.

With Nigel Smart’s recent #RSAC Math Award, he becomes the 4th COSIC member to receive this recognition over the years - joining Bart Preneel, Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen.
Proud of COSIC’s long‑standing contributions to cryptography. 🔐

Adi Shamir reading out the thank you I sent to the audience today at RSAC after the award of the RSA 2026 Conference Award for Excellence in Mathematics, which was jointly award to me and Yehuda Lindell. I could not be at the event today in San Francisco to receive the award in person alas.

Incredibly happy to announce that @zama-fhe.bsky.social is sponsoring FIVE full-cost scholarships for Lebanese students to attend Cedarcrypt. THANK YOU!

Our CFP is open until April 10 for workshops, lectures, and research talks in applied crypto. Sponsors welcome. cedarcrypt.org

I have a Reviewer 2 joke but apparently it represents only an incremental advance on previous jokes, and so has been rejected.

Final day and we are going out swinging. Privacy tech, Bluetooth deep-dives, a bird's-eye view from Nadia Heninger, PKI dispatches, TLS war stories, and lightning talks. No one's leaving early. #realworldcrypto

Do not have time limited peer review, i.e. scrap the conference publication model. Longer papers require longer reviewing.

About page limits. Why do CS conferences have them? If you look at the length of papers posted to eprint.iacr.org, 96% of them are at most 75 pages. Seems like we should just publish them instead of jumping through hoops to fit the old world of paper.

FHE.org would like to thank Technology Innovation Institute (TII) for their sponsorship this year of the FHE.org 2026 conference.

📢 Just 10 days left until the 5th annual FHE.org conference in Taipei, Taiwan!

You won't want to miss this year's presentations: 55 submissions (10 talks and 23 posters accepted) and invited speaker Shai Halevi presenting "To Search and Protect: An MPC/FHE Approach to Encrypted Search"

We’re glad to share a new sponsor for Real World Crypto 2026: Yubico. Thanks for supporting the symposium.
