Lattice-based cryptography offers a promising direction for transitioning Bitcoin toward post-quantum security, serving as a secure replacement for currently deployed discrete logarithm signatures. Th...

Join us for four days of applied cryptography in the Mediterranean. July 13–16, 2026 at AUB Mediterraneo Campus, Paphos, Cyprus.

Although recent surveys on privacy-enhancing technologies concluded that FHE cannot feasibly evaluate non-linear activation functions in modern ML architectures, 20 CKKS-based frameworks have since de...

We present the quantum-safe Kyber key encapsulation mechanism (ML-KEM) and the Dilithium signature scheme (ML-DSA). We also develop the mathematical background on lattices needed to understand why Kyb...

For production cryptographic software, memory safety alone does not define security. Real-world crypto must run on every platform, maintain stable assumptions

A deep dive into how ZKVMs work — from ZK proofs and circuits through arithmetization to building a working STARK-based ZKVM in Rust.

We construct compilers that convert any secure signature scheme into a single-round blind signature scheme. An important property of the construction is that the final blind signature has exactly the ...

We present a systematic security analysis of Alipay's APK signing certificate, issued in 2009 using md5WithRSAEncryption with RSA-1024 and still active in 2026, serving over one billion users. Through...

Although both blind signatures and adaptor signatures have individually attracted attention, there is little research on combining these primitives so far. To the best of our knowledge, although the ...

Automatically erase memory to prevent secret leaks.

Threshold signature schemes allow a group of users to jointly generate a digital signature, providing resilience against faults and enhancing decentralization. With the advent of post-quantum cryptogr...

In the Web2 world, users control their accounts using credentials such as usernames and passwords, which can be reset or recovered by centralized servers if the user loses them. In the decentralized W...

We propose the first two-round multi-party signing protocol for the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) in the threshold-optimal setting, reducing the number of rounds by one compared t...

In a threshold decryption system a secret key is split across a number of parties so that any threshold of them can decrypt a given ciphertext. We introduce a new concept in threshold decryption call...

We present a fully homomorphic encryption scheme which natively supports arithmetic and logical operations over large "machine words", namely plaintexts of the form $\mathbb{Z}_{2^n}$ (e.g. $n=64$). O...

A verifiable timed signature (VTS) scheme allows one to time-lock a signature on a known message for a given amount of time $T$ such that after performing a sequential computation for time $T$ anyone ...

The impending threat posed by large-scale quantum computers necessitates a reevaluation of signature schemes deployed in blockchain protocols. In particular, blockchains relying on ECDSA, such as Bitc...

Start with a gentle introduction to core cryptographic primitives, explore the basics of hardware acceleration, and then apply them to build optimized systems with ICICLE.

Homomorphic Encryption (HE) allows computations on encrypted data without decryption. It can be used where the users’ information are to be processed by an untrustful server, and has been a popular ch...

Obfuscation is an immensely powerful tool that enables us to construct essentially any other cryptographic primitive one can dream of. This workshop will focus on recent progress in obfuscation, inclu...

Abstract:At least since the initial public proposal of public-key cryptography based on computational hardness conjectures (Diffie and Hellman, 1976), cryptographers have contemplated the possibility ...

A list of practical deployments of differential privacy, along with their privacy parameters.

Indistinguishability obfuscation (iO) has seen remarkable theoretical progress, yet it remains impractical due to its high complexity and inefficiency. A common bottleneck in recent iO schemes is the ...
