Serving PrEP realness: How Priss Cryption is using drag to power HIV prevention | CATIE Blog

As a pharmacist, pharmacy professor and researcher who also happens to be a drag queen, I’ve learned something vital from both the clinic and the club: people listen – and learn – when they feel seen.

Today it's 'voluntary' scanning of unencrypted comms for abuse material, tomorrow it's automatic client-side pre-cryption scanning, the day after to see also which is your political affiliation.

Efficient Verifiable Mixnets from Lattices, Revisited (Jonathan Bootle, Vadim Lyubashevsky, Antonio Merino-Gallardo) ia.cr/2025/658

Abstract. Mixnets are powerful building blocks for providing anonymity in applications like electronic voting and anonymous messaging. The en- cryption schemes upon which traditional mixnets are built, as well as the zero-knowledge proofs used to provide verifiability, will, however, soon become insecure once a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer is built. In this work, we construct the most compact verifiable mixnet that achieves privacy and verifiability through encryption and zero-knowledge proofs based on the hardness of lattice problems, which are believed to be quantum-safe.

A core component of verifiable mixnets is a proof of shuffle. The starting point for our construction is the proof of shuffle of Aranha et al. (CT- RSA 2021). We first identify an issue with the soundness proof in that work, which is also present in the adaptation of this proof in the mixnets of Aranha et al. (ACM CCS 2023) and Hough et al. (IACR CiC 2025). The issue is that one cannot directly adapt classical proofs of shuffle to the lattice setting due to the splitting structure of the rings used in lattice-based cryptography. This is not just an artifact of the proof, but a problem that manifests itself in practice, and we successfully mount an attack against the implementation of the first of the mixnets. We fix the problem and introduce a general approach for proving shuffles in split- ting rings that can be of independent interest.

The efficiency improvement of our mixnet over prior work is achieved by switching from re-encryption mixnets (as in the works of Aranha et al. and Hough et al.) to decryption mixnets with very efficient layering based on the hardness of the LWE and LWR problems over polynomial rings. The ciphertexts in our scheme are smaller by approximately a factor of 10X and 2X over the aforementioned instantiations, while the linear-size zero-knowledge proofs are smaller by a factor of 4X and 2X.

💡 Summary:

EUのProtectEU戦略は、エンドツーエンcryptionのバックドア導入を正当化する動きを潜ませつつ、法執行機能強化を名目にデータへの「合法的アクセス」や暗号解読技術の道筋づくりを進める blueprintと見られている。戦略は六つの分野を挙げ、その中で暗号へのアクセスやEUROPOLの権限拡大、情報共有の強化などを進める計画を示すが、具体的な政策提案は未定で、プライバシーとサイバーセキュリティの両立を装いながらもバックドアの危険性を指摘する声が強い。
