Die #Chatkontrolle soll angeblich Kinder schützen, doch sogar der Kinderschutzbund ist entschieden gegen diese Maßnahme, weil sie unsere Grundrechte einschränkt ohne dabei effektiv zu sein

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...

Whoa. 100 responses from speakers at CHES, and only one is presenting by video. Maybe their conference is actually worth going to?

Our paper on attacking concurrent MPC implementations is finally on eprint 🎉

Rushing at SPDZ: On the Practical Security of Malicious MPC Implementations (Alexander Kyster, Frederik Huss Nielsen, Sabine Oechsner, Peter Scholl) ia.cr/2025/789
Abstract. Secure multi-party computation (MPC) enables parties to compute a function over private inputs while maintaining confidentiality. Although MPC has advanced significantly and attracts a growing industry interest, open-source implementations are still at an early stage, with no production-ready code and a poor understanding of their actual security guarantees. In this work, we study the real-world security of modern MPC implementations, focusing on the SPDZ protocol (Damgård et al., CRYPTO 2012, ESORICS 2013), which provides security against malicious adversaries when all-but-one of the participants may be corrupted. We identify a novel type of MAC key leakage in the MAC check protocol of SPDZ, which can be exploited in concurrent, multi-threaded settings, compromising output integrity and, in some cases, input privacy. In our analysis of three SPDZ implementations (MP-SPDZ, SCALE-MAMBA, and FRESCO), two are vulnerable to this attack, while we also uncover further issues and vulnerabilities with all implementations. We propose mitigation strategies and some recommendations for researchers, developers and users, which we hope can bring more awareness to these issues and avoid them reoccurring in future.

Together with @kennyog.bsky.social we're organising a meeting at Eurocrypt to discuss how the, let's say, "dramatically changing political landscape" affects cryptography and our community, both domestically in some countries but also internationally eurocrypt.iacr.org/2025/communi...
Wednesday, May 7, 14:30-16:00 (Room TBD): Cryptography in a Changing World: Navigating Geopolitical Uncertainty and Security Risks Join us to discuss what we as a community can and should do in light of a dramatically changing political landscape, both domestically for some of us and internationally for all of us. We don't have ideas to pitch to you, but we think it will be useful to meet and to start a discussion. For more information: Martin Albrecht and Kenny Paterson.
