I'm looking for a job! I'm an experienced researcher in cryptography. My focus is on the transition to post-quantum cryptographic protocols and protocols related to blockains. If that sounds like someone you might want to hire or you know someone who might, let's talk!

My time at RUB is coming to an end and I'm looking to transition to an industry position. If you're hiring for work on cryptographic protocols, PQC or related areas, maybe we should talk! I'm at Eurocrypt this week, so this may be a great opportunity to meet in person.

Pro tip: if you're launching a German organisation whose aim is to intervene in Polish affairs, "Lebensraum" is probably not the best choice of name
A German group, Lebensraum Vorpommern, has filed a further legal challenge against Poland's plans to construct a deepwater shipping terminal near the border with Germany. It claims the project "will lead to an environmental catastrophe" notesfrompoland.com/2025/03/…

My 2cents about infosec following the recent political mess: Always assume that your government might flip on you like Trump flipped on Ukraine. Don't let government access assuming they are benevolent.

Hi. Cybersecurity expert here. I'm tweeting this from a public Wi-Fi network without a VPN. I never use a VPN when using public Wi-Fi. VPN company security claims are (mostly) scams. They sponsor a lot of podcasts to promote their claims. #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth
Hawk Tuah recently went viral for her rant about public Wi-Fi users not having a VPN. “Using a public Wi-Fi network without a VPN may seem harmless, but it comes at a substantial risk to your privacy and security. Your data can be intercepted, exposing sensitive information like passwords to hackers or prying eyes on the same network.”

PSA: Calling Telegram an 'encrypted messaging app' is like calling OnlyFans a podcast site. Its not how its used. In Telegram, unlike Signal/WhatApp/iMessage: * Group chats can't be encrypted * 1-on-1s aren't encrypted by default keep it in mind when writing about Durov's arrest.

After giving a talk at a conference recently, I received an email from an unfamiliar senior professor in the audience remarking that my “look has extremely improved over the years” from “nerdy lab mouse” to “a touch of upper class.” 1/4
