New record for the rank of elliptic curves over Q, due to Noam Elkies and Zev Klagsbrun, is 29! web.math.pmf.unizg.hr/~duje/tors/rk2…
What if — and just go with me on this please — we combined the two most confusing things in the universe: FIPS standards and post-quantum cryptography?

Good summary!
Is lattice-based cryptography still (potentially) post-quantum now? 🥳 Update to #eprint555 by Yilei Chen
The "555" quantum LWE paper has been basically retracted: "Note: Update on April 18: Step 9 of the algorithm contains a bug, which I don’t know how to fix. See Section 3.5.9 (Page 37) for details." eprint.iacr.org/2024/555

The co discoverer of the bug in Chen’s paper is second year Berkeley grad student Hongxun Wu @HongxunWu ( whxwhx.github.io ). Quite impressive given several lattice experts looked at the paper closely! Sorry for misspelling the name in a late night tweet yesterday.

We did it baby FHE is safe again (for now)

My survey on the Complexity of the Shortest Vector Problem is now up and available at eccc.weizmann.ac.il/report/2022/17…! (Full version to appear in the SIGACT News Open Problems Column.) Comments and error reports (including typos) welcome!
Regarding "555" It is very difficult to validate a 64-page highly technical paper which has its share of bugs. Definitely dismissing it is even harder. (I don't want to attribute but some ppl at NIST PQC5 were surprisingly confident that it doesn't apply to Kyber and Dilithium.)

#eprint555 Another update to my webpage on the attack.... nigelsmart.github.io/LWE.html Perhaps tomorrow I will move to the quantum part of the paper (although that is likely to loose me completely).
This looks serious. Damn serious. Some lattice expert can say something about it? eprint.iacr.org/2024/555
Peer review at work: error found in the "Quantum algorithms for lattice problems" paper eprint.iacr.org2024/555. World save because there are not enough primes. These developments will inspire several researchers to look closer at quantum algorithms for lattices.

@EliBenSasson All I can say for now is that it needs to be carefully understood and checked for correctness. I don’t know if anyone has done this yet (apart from the author of course).
