David Chaum and Guido van Rossum awarded Dijkstra Fellowship
Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) will grant the honorary title ‘Dijkstra Fellow’ for the first time in its history. This edition the Dijkstra Fellowship will be awarded to David Chaum and Guido van Rossum.
IBM to deploy quantum-proof cryptography co-developed with CWI and RU
Together with CWI, RU and other international partners, IBM Research has developed quantum-safe algorithms for securing data. IBM has now implemented these algorithms in the world’s first quantum computing safe tape drive.
CWI researcher designs award-winning cryptographic lottery algorithm
Benjamin Wesolowski (CWI) developed a new key ingredient for cryptographic lottery machines and received the Best Young Researcher Paper Award at Eurocrypt 2019. His results can be used for more sustainable blockchain technology.
Researchers hail demise of online security algorithm
An international team of mathematicians has hailed the end of a variant of a code that is widely used to protect online transactions. The five researchers are from EPFL, CWI and the universities of Surrey and Passau.
