About two years ago, I switched teams at Google to focus on fully homomorphic encryption (abbreviated FHE, or sometimes HE). Since then I’ve got to work on a lot of interesting projects, learning along the way about post-quantum cryptography, compiler design, and the ins and outs of fully homomorphic encryption. If you’ve heard about FHE and you’re a software person, you’ve probably heard two things: it lets you run programs directly on encrypted data without ever decrypting it; and it’s still too slow to be useful for anything.

Marshall University has received a substantial investment of $500,000 from the Appalachian Regional Commission to continue building on its reputation as a premier cyber security academic institution in Appalachia. U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Cybersecurity Subcommittee, along with Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, announced the funding for the Appalachian Cybersecurity Training, Innovation & Opportunity Network (ACTION) project. ...

Blockchain technology has emerged as a response to the growing demand for trust, transparency, and security in the realm of digital financial transactions, in which Bitcoin serves as an initial prime example. It offers an immutable, decentralised ledger system to verify and record transactions without a central authority, indicating a paradigm shift in traditional financial systems. Blockchain is a pioneering topic including a set of technologies that have the potential to revolutionise, improve, or even substitute existing technologies, particularly focusing on its implications and applicatio...

The May 21 event will bring together world-class researchers and academics from Cambridge and Vanderbilt, representatives from industry, and government officials to explore the latest advancements in research, identify pathways for collaboration, and discuss challenges and solutions for post-quantum cryptography.

A flawed paper shakes confidence in the foundations of ‘quantum-proof’ encryption – and highlights the need for a new generation of experts.
