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, …
