How are we going to afford post-quantum authentication?

In this talk, I explain that although the focus on and progress with post-quantum key exchange is great, that does not mean that we should relax about post-quantum authentication. …

PQ TLS and WebPKI (or: Are we PQ yet?)

In deze presentatie vertel ik over TLS en hoe het op dit moment gaat met de transitie naar post-quantum cryptografie. Post-quantum key exchange wordt al uitgerold, maar …

TLS: Are we PQ yet? featured image

TLS: Are we PQ yet?

The TLS protocol (famous for `https://`) is perhaps the most-used cryptographic protocol. As such, it is extremely important that it gets migrated to post-quantum cryptography. …

Optimizations and Practicality of High-Security CSIDH

We propose higher-security parametersets of CSIDH, and present highly-optimized implementations. We measure the performance when using these parameters in TLS, and show that the …

Using Emoji in (pdf)LaTex

I recently wanted to use Emoji in a paper, but I did not want to force my contributors into using LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX (in which you can just use fancy fonts). So as a work around, …
