  • Episode 24: CryptoHack's Collection of Cryptic Conundrums!
    Feb 27 2023
    For several years, CryptoHack has been a free platform for learning modern cryptography through fun and challenging programming puzzles. From toy ciphers to post-quantum cryptography, CryptoHack has a wide-ranging and ever increasing library of puzzles for both the aspiring and accomplished cryptographer. On this episode, Nadim and Lucas are joined by Giacomo Pope and Laurence Tennant, the founders of CryptoHack, to discuss how the platform came to be, and how it evolved, as well as how to improve cryptographic pedagogy more broadly. Special Guests: Giacomo Pope and Laurence Tennant.

  • Episode 23: Psychic Signatures in Java!
    Jan 25 2023
    On April 19th 2022, Neil Madden disclosed a vulnerability in many popular Java runtimes and development kits. The vulnerability, dubbed "Psychic Signatures", lies in the cryptography for ECDSA signatures and allows an attacker to bypass signature checks entirely for these signatures. How are popular cryptographic protocol implementations in Java affected? What's the state of Java cryptography as a whole? Join Neil, Nadim and Lucas as they discuss. Music composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. Special Guest: Neil Madden.

  • Episode 22: Three Lessons from Threema: Breaking a Secure Messenger!
    Jan 16 2023
    Threema is a Swiss encrypted messaging application. It has more than 10 million users and more than 7000 on-premise customers. Prominent users of Threema include the Swiss Government and the Swiss Army, as well as the current Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz. Threema has been widely advertised as a secure alternative to other messengers. Kenny, Kien and Matteo from the ETH Zurich Applied Cryptography Group present seven attacks against the cryptographic protocols used by Threema, in three distinct threat models. All the attacks are accompanied by proof-of-concept implementations that demonstrate their feasibility in practice. Links and papers discussed in the show: * Three Lessons from Threema (https://breakingthe3ma.app/) Special Guests: Kenny Paterson, Kien Tuong Truong, and Matteo Scarlata.
