Start of ACCSS - new association of cybersecurity academics
Last month, members of the ACCSS association celebrated that ACCSS (ACademic Cyber Security Society) is now a formal association. Marten van Dijk, head of CWI’s Computer Security research group, is one of its Board Members.
TNO, CWI and TU Delft receive 1.8 million for research in quantum security of public key infrastructures
A consortium including TNO, CWI and TU Delft received a 1.8 million grant from NWO to conduct research in the quantum security of public key infrastructures (PKI), which form the basis for secure digital connections and the protection of digital information. Research proposal HAPKIDO was submitted in response to a call from the Dutch National Science Agenda (NWA).
New code breaking record for quantum-safe cryptography
A team of CWI cryptanalysts has set a new code breaking record for the lattice shortest vector problem (SVP) - a foundation for the security of next generation public-key cryptography, designed to be secure against quantum computers.
Léo Ducas wins ERC Starting Grant for quantum-safe cryptography
Léo Ducas from CWI's Cryptology Group is awarded an ERC Starting Grant of 1.5 million euro for research on quantum-safe cryptography. Most of today’s cryptographic methods will not be secure against attacks based on possible future quantum computers.
