Would it be too salty to say how reassuring it is to find so many new experts in quantum computing and post quantum cryptography suddenly popping up over on LinkedIn?

This is, of course, a known classic.

Our first ever Dunning Kruger Award goes to Bill Mitchell.

Also announcing VibeFail: for schemes that didn’t pass the vibe check.

Announcing VibeCrypt. The first conference about vibe-based cryptography.You feel your scheme is correct? Of course, this standard is weak even if you can't explain the attack? You rely on isogenies? Then submit to VibeCrypt!

Do we really need to tell you who our first invited speaker is?
