Crypto 2018 has affiliated events this year, which is fun. I’m currently attending the Quantum-safe Cryptography for Industry event, a big focus of mine lately. crypto.iacr.org/2018/affevents…
@Cloudflare is a sponsor of Crypto this year, so come see me if you want a webcam cover!

We just heard from Adrian Stanger from the NSA. There is high confidence in the NIST process and no plans to invest in QKD. Algorithm recommendations (key agreement and signatures) to be made around 2023-24. There are no plans to replace AES-256 or SHA2-384.
Brian LaMacchia of @MSFTResearch gives an overview of the cryptographic algorithm transitions we’ve gone through so far in the 21st century.
Shay Gueron explores the challenges involved with combining quantum and post-quantum key exchange algorithms.
Now @agl__ explains the two experiments Google Chrome performed to measure the impact of post-quantum algorithms in TLS. The TLS 1.2 NewHope hybrid experiment in 2016 and the TLS 1.3 experiment (with @Cloudflare) in 2018.

Jacqueline Brendel explains a new hybrid AKE construction. ePrint coming soon.
This talk about breaking PQC submissions is so fun. I’m pretty sure @yx7__ is a wizard.
Also, HK17 is super weird. It uses Octonions, which are not commutative or even associative, to do a funky Diffie-Hellman type thing. Turns out it’s trivially breakable. eprint.iacr.org/2017/1258
