I'm excited to announce that our "MAESTRO" paper has been accepted at USENIX Security 2025.

This work resulted from collaborative research involving researchers based in 4 different countries. Now I have a good reason to visit those countries for more discussion and beer.

Seems all Crypto 2025 authors have submitted their cameraready papers - www.iacr.org/cryptodb/dat...
In total, 155 papers (new record, but acceptance rate is still low), almost 30 of them about ZK (both theory and practice). The practice papers were mostly available on eprint before, so no surprises
