It’s hard to believe it’s been over three years since I joined RUB @ruhr-uni-bochum.de ! Time really flies. Bochum has an incredibly vibrant and excellent cybersecurity research community.

TIL that the term Σ-protocol (3-move ZKP) has been coined by Cramer in his '97 PhD thesis, that it refers to SIG (like in zig-zag) and MA from Merlin-Arthur (like in Arthur-Merlin Protocol; MA is also a complexity class) and that it was used for the first time only in a PKC'00 paper. What a day!

NIST gives you 10, but Australia gives you 5. Not ratings, but number of years to transition away from SHA, RSA, Ecdsa, etc.
Quantum anxiety sees Australia ban some crypto tech by 2030
The likes of SHA-256, RSA, ECDSA and ECDH won't be welcome in just five years
