Dutch railway NS promises major improvements in 2025 with 1,600 more trains weekly

Dutch national railway NS announced plans to dramatically improve service next year by adding an additional 1,600 trains per week to the timetable in 2025. The improvements include overall increases during rush hour and weekend evenings, as well as more trains throughout the day to connect Schiphol with Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Arnhem.

"Logarithmic-Size (Linkable) Ring Signatures from Lattice Isomorphism P" by Xuan Thanh Khuc, Anh The Ta et al.

The Lattice Isomorphism Problem (LIP) asks whether two given lattices are isomorphic via an orthogonal linear transformation. At Eurocrypt 2022, Ducas and van Woerden provide a solid foundation for LIP as a promising candidate for post-quantum cryptography. They then propose a digital signature HAWK from LIP in the hash-then-sign framework, whose module version was recently investigated by Ducas et al. at Asiacrypt 2022. HAWK is one of the brightest prospects at round one of the NIST for additional digital signatures. In this paper, we build the first (linkable) ring signature schemes based on the hardness of LIP. The proposed signatures have the logarithmic size in the number of ring users. Our signature size is significantly smaller than several ring signatures based on other underlying problems when the number of users in the ring is large. To this end, we leverage group action properties of LIP and follow the Merkle tree-based construction of Beullens, Katsumata and Pintore at Asiacrypt 2020 in the context of isogeny-based cryptography, with suitable adaptions to lattice isomorphism group actions.

Dutch urged to postpone trips to Belgium as protesting farmers block border crossings

Rijkswaterstaat advised road users who must go to Belgium to postpone their trip if possible. Several border crossings between the Netherlands and Belgium are still blocked by Belgian farmers on Friday morning. There are possibilities to get into Belgium, a spokesperson for Rijkswaterstaat said. “But we don’t know how quickly the situation can change.”

Most trains to and from Utrecht cancelled through 10:30 p.m. due to power failure

A power outage on Monday evening led to the shutdown of all train traffic to and from Utrecht, Dutch national railway NS and railroad infrastructure agency ProRail confirmed. The cause of the disruption was not immediately announced just after 5 p.m. The resultant problems were expected to last until about 7:30 p.m., but that was eventually extended multiple times to at least 10:30 p.m.

Fireworks sales unlikely to match last year's record

Dutch people are not expected to purchase as many fireworks this year as last year, when a record was set for the amount of revenue the sales generated. Through Friday, consumers had ordered about as many fireworks online compared to a year earlier, said Leo Groeneveld, the chair of Dutch pyrotechnic association BPN. He revised that on Wednesday, saying he doubts whether the sales record of 2022 will be achieved.
