Hi,

at the 'witching hour'  on Friday, 28th, Tanja and DJB gave on overview on recent developments of 'Post Quantum Cryptography' on the 'hackers' congress 35c3 in Leipzip/Germany. 

Please remember: PQC is not linked to Quantum Cryptography, à la Shor and BB84. Rather, it is the attempt to make cryptography resilient against Quantum Computer's capabilities breaking the key exchange and cryptographic signatures.

I also recommend to watch Hanno Böck's talk about TLS 1.3:

For the German-reading community: I'm close to publish the 4th edition of my book 'Technik der IP-Netze' which gives some insight into cryptography and TLS 1.3 as well. 


On my own agenda for 2019 I've written down

+ s/qmail 3.3 -> 3.4 (with fehQlibs + SRS) -> aQmail
+ attempts to define a libsign library (in particular useful for DKIM)
+ making TinyDNS CurveDNS aware

I hope to find enough time alongside with my lecturing.



Have a Happy New Year! 

Regards.
