Another amazing endeavour of nimble compilation to connect proofs, programs and languages together, by my esteemed PhD advisor!
New blog post! I share plans to modernize HACL* by bringing it to a pure, safe Rust world. I also talk about a new backwards-compat tool, Eurydice, for new verified Rust code that still needs to exist in legacy C environments. jonathan.protzenko.fr/2024/0…

It was an absolute pleasure to be here and I had a blast! Thanks for the invitation, it was an honor to be in such great company.
Super excited to have @_protz_ visiting @NUSComputing and giving an invited talk on formally verified cryptography and security protocols!

I was very happy to give a talk at Galois to present the latest progress on Aeneas, our framework to verify Rust programs. On the menu: latest features, future extensions, ongoing verification effort, and most of all demo of the Lean backend! galois.com/blog/2023/10/aene…

Our quantum-resistant protocol upgrade, PQXDH, is now “the first machine-checked post-quantum security proof of a real-world cryptographic protocol.” Thanks to the researchers who did this important formal verification! Read more from them here👇 cryspen.com/post/pqxdh

My student Théophile is being modest. Our paper (with Karthik and Benjamin) *also* got a distinguished paper award! Congrats Théophile !
I am glad to announce that my very first paper received the Internet Defense Prize at @USENIXSecurity ! usenix.org/blog/usenix-annou…

While I was presenting remotely, I think my short talk on @BlawxAI was well-received, and I look forward to engaging with the participants going forward. Huge thanks to @DMerigoux and @_protz_ and @basus for chairing. May your success continue for many years to come. 8/

#ProLaLa2023 is done and was a big success! Thanks to lots of hard work from @DMerigoux and @_protz_ and our session chairs. Lots of great research, conversations and future work to be done. My little nerd heart is so, so happy right now.
