Falcon is a winner of NIST’s six-year post-quantum cryptography standardization competition. Based on the celebrated full-domain-hash framework of Gentry, Peikert and Vaikuntanathan (GPV) (STOC’08), Falcon leverages NTRU lattices to achieve the most compact signatures among…
In 2018, Aono, Nguyen, and Shen (ASIACRYPT 2018) proposed to use quantum backtracking algorithms (Montanaro, TOC 2018; Ambainis and Kokainis, STOC 2017) to speedup lattice point enumeration. Aono et al.’s work argued that quantum walk…
The Bluetooth protocol for wireless connection between devices comes with several security measures toprotect confidentiality and integrity of data. At the heart of these security protocols lies the SecureSimple Pairing, wherewith the devices can negotiate…
For more than a century, election officials across the United States have inspected voting machines before elections using a procedure called Logic and Accuracy Testing (LAT). This procedure consists of election officials casting a test deck…
