01 02 Interview/profile of Claude Crépeau by Bill Buchanan, a tour of crypto history with the usual amount of deserved reverence.03 Quantum Computing and the Future of Privacy | Richard T. Carback III (Zcash, Blockspäti Berlin) — by Quip Network youtube.comTalk video of Richard T. Carback III on quantum computing, privacy, and why Zcash folks keep glancing at post-quantum crypto.04 Quantum-safe migration gets sold as a rewrite, this op-ed argues for phased upgrades that fit existing infrastructure.05 ForkLog on Lean Ethereum, a from-scratch-ish roadmap swapping in recursive STARKs, PQ crypto, and new consensus toys.06 How do ESP32s get boot entropy when RNG, radio bursts, and SRAM are all shaky, and does an 'entropy capsule' help cold starts?07 Fraud control gets a blockchain audit trail here, with synthetic telecom/IoT requests, federated meta-learning, and QLoRA LLMs.08 Embeds SD-JWT signatures into read-only files, so authenticity stops depending on whatever IAM duct tape is around.09 Adaptor Signatures Meet BLS: Enabling Efficient Blockchain Applications with Unique Adaptor Signatures eprint.iacr.orgAdaptor signatures, now for BLS too, so the usual atomic-swap and ZK-contingent-payment tricks can stop special-casing Schnorr.10 A Seed for Privacy -- semi-automatic privacy-revealing data reminder in databases and data streams arxiv.orgArXiv paper on pArborist, semi-automatic query growth for privacy-revealing events in DBs and streams, because privacy loves paperwork.11 Obfuscated reversible circuits can do CCA2 encryption, and even leak into FE/HE territory if you squint hard enough.12 Looks at how AUCIL's auction adds a Sybil surface FOCIL tried to dodge, and what a less-gameable design might need.13 Trail of Bits adds a Rust security testing chapter, covering Miri, property tests, Kani, Clippy, and supply-chain vetting.14 FINMA tells Swiss banks to inventory crypto and get quantum-safe, after finding most have no migration roadmaps.15 One source, two GPU vendors, and memory bandwidth still gets the last word in this OpenMP LWE KEM paper.16 Quantum computing essay, from bombe analogy to Shor, with the usual correction that superposition is not brute-force parallelism.17 One Token Is Enough: Fingerprinting and Verifying Large Language Models from Single-Token Output Distributions arxiv.orgInstead of probing internals, this fingerprints LLMs from trivial one-token distributions and still tracks lineage through API chains.18 ArXiv paper on image encryption via E91 keys, Lorenz chaos, and reservoir computing, with the usual NPCR/UACI ritual.19 ARMOR-IMC: Adaptive Resource Mapping for Operational Robustness via Secure In-Memory Computing arxiv.orgPost-training defense for analog in-memory accelerators, maps around process faults and power leakage without retraining.20 Windows Insider builds ship SymCrypt SHA-3 and ML-KEM with Lean-checked Rust proofs, because proof debt is now product work.21 Chromium's PQ HTTPS plan meets enterprise fossils: subdomain cookies and TLS-inspecting proxies that break hybrid handshakes.22 IBM Quantum System One London: Why Every Organisation Should Be Preparing for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) blog.itsecurityexpert.co.ukIBM's London quantum box still can't crack RSA, so this is really a PQC migration checklist with NIST standards.23 A10 says ACOS 7.0.3 adds hybrid PQ TLS with OpenSSL 3.5, so your ADC can do X25519+ML-KEM without new boxes.24 CHIP: Efficient Homomorphic Encryption-Based CNN Batch Inference Using Channel-Interleaved Packing with Small Rotation Key Set eprint.iacr.orgHE CNN inference paper: channel-interleaved packing and a small rotation-key set, trimming the usual encrypted-conv tax.25 Can TFHE bootstrapping get cheaper by splitting lookup tables and doing homomorphic div/rem?26 Aggregate PM counters verify 6G RAN intents, letting 3GPP/O-RAN pretend privacy and assurance coexist.27 Paper on self-tuning ring-oscillator TRNGs and long-term stability, with NIST tests, because entropy still needs babysitting.28 NIST trims the post-quantum signature zoo to 9 Round 3 survivors, while the code-based hopefuls get quietly kicked out.29 ECB tells banks to inventory crypto and get post-quantum ready, with AI cyber threats as the warm-up act.30 What Happens When integrating Modulus Switching and Lossy Source Coding: A New Dual Attack Variant on LWE eprint.iacr.orgNew dual LWE attack variant mixes modulus switching with lossy source coding, shaving FFT costs and nudging Kyber bounds.
