It is not really progress, but the Home Office a notoriously cavalier and badly run organisation (remember Windrush amongst others) needs to be held to public account. There is nothing they would like more than absolute secrecy, a cowed press and a frightened and subdued opopulation.
Governments of all shades have encouraged them to act in this way since they were established.
Professor Thomas Vidick joined EPFL in late 2024. He works on problems at the interface of quantum information, theoretical computer science and cryptography.

I know you are referring to Bitcoin, but in the future make sure you do not conflate Cryptocurrency and Cryptography. Be clear.
I really really want to like nostr. I think the protocol is great and enjoy the premise. I’ve given it a fair shake I think.
But wow, the fact that Bitcoin is basically embedded into the system really sucks. It’s just the whole vibe there. It could have JUST been a new social media platform but NOPE, crypto killed it.
You had a whole awesome platform built on cryptography but you killed it with cryptocurrency.

What's the current consensus on whether I should worry about Grover's algorithm when choosing symmetric cryptography?
There are some saying that movie theatres are dead.
But the Security Theatre is still alive.

If I have a #codeberg account set up, with a verified #ssh key on my account and the corresponding public and private keys in `~/.ssh/`, is there a way that I can make it so that it doesn't ask me for my keyphrase every time I push? I'm sure VSCode could do this, but since I've switched to #Helix, which doesn't have git built-in I've been manually doing the git stuff.
My knowledge of #cryptography and #git are well and truly at the 'barely enough to get myself into trouble' level.

Researchers from the US and UK used Quantinuum's 56-qubit quantum computer to generate a truly random number for the first time, demonstrating quantum physics' inherent randomness and its potential for secure electronic communication.
The team's experiment, using Aaronson and Hung's protocol, verified the result's randomness across multiple supercomputers, setting a new standard for quantum security.

I'm bored.
I really want to do something with #Cryptography like #Certificates, etc.
I don't know though. What do people do with this? I want to make something that works everywhere as an experiment that may end up being fully used.
Making my own certs require having a trusted #CARoot which not every system will have. Could do that but I don't see a point really.
Not sure right now, any ideas from the audience?
