01 02 Constructs explicit finite-field maps with lower affine/polynomial agreement than the Fourier bound allows.03 An Analysis of the ITU-T Multiple Cryptographic Algorithms X.509 Extensions for PQC Migration eprint.iacr.orgFinds a downgrade hole in ITU-T X.509 Catalyst PQC migration, where a classical CA key can swap in classical-only certs.04 Preprint on a subexponential distinguisher for binary LWE with only n/log log n samples, because linear samples were too mainstream.05 Paper on ContractLens, a frozen-LLM detector for malicious contracts via layer probes and activation units, because security was latent.06 PoC repo for abusing Microsoft-signed rdpbase.dll as a BYOK RC4 primitive, with Python encrypt/decrypt scripts.07 arXiv paper on Reed-Muller LM watermarking that survives deletions, because token alignment was the real enemy.08 Glimpsing the Leakage Flow for Deep Learning-Based Side-Channel Analysis using Stochastic Leakage Model eprint.iacr.orgWhere in the net does secret-bearing leakage actually appear, and does GlimpseDNN finally show it layer by layer?09 Need a GUI for ChipWhisperer SCA and glitching, plus notebooks, HTTP API, and an MCP server? Here it is.10 First masked Knuth-Yao Gaussian sampler, plus a generic finite-precision compiler and Cortex-M4 numbers for lattice schemes.11 TranScope: What the Software Hides About LLM Training Data, the Hardware Reveals at Scale, and Accelerators Magnify arxiv.orgConstant-time LLMs still leak training membership via TLB/page-table quirks, courtesy of tokenization.12 When Masking Preimage Computation Isn’t Enough: A Power Analysis Attack on Masked Implementations of Falcon eprint.iacr.orgPower analysis breaks masked Falcon via share recombination leakage, with chosen-message and passive variants.13 Can trigger tags survive an attacker who edits prompts or weights? This paper says, mostly not.14 A SoK for stablecoins under quantum threat, finally mapping issuer, bridge, oracle, and custody failure modes instead of hand-waving PQ m...15 Paper on rare-event decorrelation for linear tests of low-complexity PRFs, finally giving AC0[2] bounds, because chaos needed math.16 Can your hybrid crypto key or accept decision really depend on both PQ and classical parts? HyBind statically checks.17 OpenSSH 10.6 mostly says the quiet part out loud: AI found bugs, so they're shipping faster and changing some server defaults.18 16 Firefox extensions impersonated Rabby and OKX, then quietly exfiltrated wallet seeds and keys. Lovely marketplace hygiene.19 Unsovled Napoleonic homophonic cipher finally falls, with the key recovered and the plaintext checked against the letter.20 FO's KEM-style implicit rejection is uninstantiable in general; the paper salvages the hybrid variant with a new hash property.21 Quantum computing and cryptocurrencies – Bridging technical expertise and decision-making europol.europa.euWill quantum computers break crypto, and what should policymakers do? Europol's brief says, in essence, plan now.22 Comparative Evaluation of Open-Source Gröbner Basis Implementations for Small-Scale AES Polynomial Systems over GF(2) eprint.iacr.orgWhich Gröbner basis code actually wins on small-scale AES over GF(2)? This paper benchmarks 20 of them against Magma.23 ChipWhisperer Studio tour, same UI videoed via simulator and Playwright, plus chapter clips and captions for the curious.24 Website fingerprinting that survives drift and domain shift, or just another pretraining story with nicer augmentations?25 Can secret shares be faked under coercion without spilling more? This paper says, only with lower bounds and assumptions.26 Cryptanalysis of a Class of Ideal Secret Sharing Schemes Based on the CRT for Polynomial Rings arxiv.orgMultiple unauthorized coalitions recover the secret; the CRT-for-polynomial-rings scheme forgot to count all published polynomials.27 28 4k+4 AES rounds are 2^-14-61k-close to pairwise independence, via a Gram-matrix analysis of local difference channels.29 Does AI Help Cyber Attackers or Defenders? Evidence from Nonpublic Vulnerabilities and Subsequent Attacks arxiv.orgPaper benchmarks AI on exploit generation, patching, and repeat attacks across 5 private vulns, because both sides needed a spreadsheet.30 Indistinguishability Lifting for Keyed Oracles, Compressed Ideal Cipher, and More Applications eprint.iacr.orgGeneric quantum lifting theorem for keyed oracles, with optimal O(q^2) loss, then a compressed ideal cipher and friends.
