Woo!! Coral goes to S&P! eprint.iacr.org/2025/1420 Coral is an amazing system to check over ZKP that a document conforms to a grammar (JSON, C, TOML). Super happy with this work and the amazing work of all the co-authors!

'Share the MAYO' (with Daniel Escudero and Guilhem Niot) about thresholdising MAYO and UOV goes to Taiwan at PQCrypto2025! eprint.iacr.org/2024/1960

It is starting! @jurrevanbergen.nl from @amnesty.org on 'The State of Surveillance: a year of digital threats to civil society' at #38c3

Very excited to share our first exploration of threshold MAYO (yes, the PQC algorithm)! 🎉 Joint work with the amazing
Daniel Escudero and Guilhem Niot. The ideas can extend to UOV as well—let’s have MV-based threshold cryptography!

Read some of the details of the DiStefano protocol (a ZKTLS or DCTLS one lnkd.in/eMfwh8za) from Brave: we also share some news on new work of attesting HTML or JSON in ZKP, and AES in ZKP ;) Expect some upcoming work on it! We will be presenting DiStefano at NDSS 2025!

If you are around for the NIST's Fifth PQC Standardization Conference, go check our MAYO poster and talk to Matthias Kannwischer or Ward Beullens. They will present our paper: eprint.iacr.org/2023/1683 and our poster:

Binary Fuse Filters are an amazing construction introduced by Thomas Mueller Graf and Daniel Lemire in arxiv.org/abs/2201.01174. Using them we arrive to 6×-11× more efficiency than state of the art ;)

New paper! Together with Alex Davidson, we introduce 'Chalamet' a keyword-based PIR scheme! eprint.iacr.org/2024/92 We also introduce a framework so that any index LWE-based PIR scheme can be transformed to keyword-based via the usage of binary fuse filters

Hi, everyone! As you all know we will soon have a Women in Cryptography (WinC) seminar. Our first speaker will be Elette Boyle. We want this talk to be interactive so send questions you will like Elette answer in our discord server ;) womenincryptography.com/seminar/

I will be at the PETS symposium next week! We will be presenting FrodoPIR, a simple, scalable, single-server PIR scheme: we have the presentation with Alex Davidson and a beautiful poster with me ;)

Second time speaking at the UN! (not so nervous as last time). Let's talk about human rights and protocol design ;)

Wow!! Our paper "Practically-exploitable Cryptographic Vulnerabilities in Matrix" got the Distinguished Paper Award (DPA) at @IEEESSP, 2023. So wonderful! Happy for my co-authors @malb.bsky.social @DowlingBJ @djwj_ and this amazing work!
