SSH++

My research often has a computational component which means logging into one of my servers, kicking off a long running computation, waiting a few days and recovering the output. Here’s how I, inspired by Filippo Valsorda’s post, addressed some of the pain points with this sort thing.

Postdoc at Royal Holloway on Quantum-Safe Cryptography in Hardware

Together with Carlos Cid, we have a two-year postdoc position available. The position is focused on hardware implementations of quantum-safe cryptography such as lattice-based, code-based, hash-based or mq-based schemes. If you are interested, feel free to get in touch with Carlos or me. If you know of somone who might be interested, we would appreciate if you could make them aware of this position.

London-ish Lattice Coding & Crypto Meeting: 10 May 2017

Lattice-based approaches are emerging as a common theme in modern cryptography and coding theory. In communications, they are indispensable mathematical tools to construct powerful error-correction codes achieving the capacity of wireless channels. In cryptography, they are used to building lattice-based schemes with provable security, better asymptotic efficiency, resilience against quantum attacks and new functionalities such as fully homomorphic encryption.

This meeting — on 10 May 2017 — is aimed at connecting the two communities in the UK with a common interest in lattices, with a long-term goal of building a synergy of the two fields. It will consist of several talks on related topics, with a format that will hopefully encourage interaction.
