Reflection on Eurocrypt 2023

Top personal takeaways are:

• Lattice-based crypto is the perfect sub-direction to contribute in
  • Vadim's remark on state of lattice: KEM, signatures, FHE, Functional commitments, ZKPs. Some reduces to more structured Lattices than others for efficiency.
    • Confidence in lattice hardness, but IP issue is somewhat tricky.
    • The most convincing slide presents the CNSA timeline for mandatory transition to PQC by 2033 -- not a matter of if or when, it's gonna happen!
  • Missing:
• threshold crypto (rejection sampling on individual share doesn't guarantee successful secret reconstruction?)
