Happy 2026, everybody!

Robert Redford passed way. One movie he is in and I like is named "Sneakers". In the secretary scene, you can see the Asiacrypt'91/Japan poster.

This conference started as Auscrypt'90/Australia, and that is why Australia is not in Asia but hosts Asiacrypt. Like this year! :)

E o careca ganhou.
