We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

The EU Parliament has published a new proposal for Chat Control to mass-surveil all digital communication in Europe. The proposal is ineffective, weakens secure communication, and violates basic human privacy. This must be stopped immediately. #ChatControl csa-scientist-open-letter.org/Sep2025

Yesterday, @cathie.bsky.social gave a great talk at @ietf.org 123 on the importance of standardizing Sigma protocols and our ongoing work toward a standard for zero-knowledge proofs! You can watch the talk here:

New paper(!) on the "clubcard" data structure that we're using for WebPKI revocation checks in Firefox. A clubcard is a membership test for an r element subset of an n element set. Size is ~1.13 log(n choose r) bits. Or (better!) ~1.13 Σ log(n_i choose r_i) where i indexes blocks of a partition.

Ooooh this is an excellent application of Privacy Pass, the anonymous credential scheme we originally designed to ameliorate the pain of Cloudflare CAPTCHAs on Tor. Authenticate with a paid account to obtain tokens, then anonymously redeem them to make unlinkable searches.

NIST released a draft of a non-binding document (IR 8547 ipd) saying they plan to disallow non-PQC in 2035. 2035 is ten years from now, there's no need to rush anything right now. csrc.nist.gov/Projects/pqc... is still running and large ecosystems are still figuring out what/how to deploy.
