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 ForkLog on Lean Ethereum, a from-scratch-ish roadmap swapping in recursive STARKs, PQ crypto, and new consensus toys.05 Fraud control gets a blockchain audit trail here, with synthetic telecom/IoT requests, federated meta-learning, and QLoRA LLMs.06 Embeds SD-JWT signatures into read-only files, so authenticity stops depending on whatever IAM duct tape is around.07 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.08 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.09 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.10 ArXiv paper on image encryption via E91 keys, Lorenz chaos, and reservoir computing, with the usual NPCR/UACI ritual.11 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.12 Chromium's PQ HTTPS plan meets enterprise fossils: subdomain cookies and TLS-inspecting proxies that break hybrid handshakes.13 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.14 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.15 Aggregate PM counters verify 6G RAN intents, letting 3GPP/O-RAN pretend privacy and assurance coexist.16 Docs hub for the EU Digital Identity Wallet ARF, with architecture, trust model, annexes, and the usual privacy/ZK footnotes.17 Can federated learning keep its accuracy once you bolt on HE and DP, or does client heterogeneity still wreck it?18 Report on an attested TLS relay flaw hitting WhatsApp and Cocos AI, proof that handshakes still cosplay as security.19 PromptGraph: Graph-Guided Prompt Sanitization for Balancing Privacy and Utility in LLM Inference arxiv.orgCan a graph over prompt spans scrub PII without torching LLM utility?20 Paper tests watermark-like logit perturbations against black-box LLM theft, then measures how much utility gets shaved off.21 Front-running meets a power-weighted lottery here, and the paper claims that makes sandwiching uneconomic.22 Devil in the Lens: Analyzing and Defending Physical Prompt Injection Against Vision-Language Models on Wearable Devices arxiv.orgPhysical prompt injection on AI glasses works across VLMs; the paper also benchmarks a mask filter and semantic detector.23 Need the docs for PODs, GPCs, and ZApps, aka programmable cryptography over user-owned data?24 A Security magazine recap of PQC adoption, NIST standards, CNSA 2.0 timelines, and the usual harvest-now-decrypt-later anxiety.25 Report on ZWEICHAIN-Q, a PQ finality/evidence layer with real signature tests, deterministic roots, and restart metrics.26 LLM-guided evolution breaks perceptual hashes like pHash, PDQ, PhotoDNA, and NeuralHash in black-box mode, because apparently those work...27 Can you trust Opal2 SEDs on Linux? This black-box study of 38 drives says firmware bugs and incompatibilities say no.28 The hard part isn’t PQC, it’s finding every stray RSA/ECC dependency before the migration spreadsheet explodes.29 Survey of LLM watermarking, from biased sampling to adaptive-removal attacks, because even text wants DRM.30 Anonymous comms on constant-degree expanders, via onion routing and random walks, match complete-network asymptotics.
