Gov. Pritzker: “All I can say is that whether it was the loss in the elections a week ago that's led to Donald Trump deciding to pull CBP out or the fact that Greg Bovino is a snowflake…Whatever it is, the people of Chicago have deserved better than having CBP and Greg Bovino in this city.”

The call for talks for CAW 2026 (a workshop affiliated with Eurocrypt) is out!
This year's motto is "cryptography under real-world constraints and threat models", but other applied cryptography is also very welcome.

AWS Private CA now supports ML-DSA, a post-quantum digital signature algorithm standardized by NIST. This enables organizations to transition PKI toward quantum-resistant cryptography.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous
