“If normal encrypted messages are cats, then post-quantum ciphertexts are elephants,” says @matthewdgreen.bsky.social. “So the problem here is to sneak an elephant through a cat tunnel. And that’s an amazing engineering achievement. But it also makes me wish we didn’t have to deal with elephants.”

“I’m currently involved in a study where we’re using these technologies to study pancreatic cancers,” says @jhu-bdps.bsky.social @mikeschatz.bsky.social. We’re finding things that are only possible because of this new genome and these new technologies.”
Putting our pieces together
For more than half a century, Johns Hopkins has been a leader in converting federal support into tangible benefits for the American people—such as correcting maps of the human genome.

“It’s crazy. The fact that this much data is going over satellites that anyone can pick up with an antenna is just incredible,” says JHU CS’ @matthewdgreen.bsky.social. “This paper will fix a very small part of the problem, but I think a lot of it is not going to change.”
With just $800 in basic equipment, researchers found a stunning variety of data—including thousands of T-Mobile users’ calls and texts and even US military communications—sent by satellites unencrypted. www.wired.com/story/satell...

JHU CS’ @phikoehn.bsky.social explains that nuance often disappears in the translation process: “Like if I slightly emphasize a word or hesitate somewhere a little bit, all that means something. Maybe I’m not certain, or I’m fishing for confirmation. Those subtle clues still get lost.”
