After providing some hints to my oracle, the crystal ball has predicted isogenies are just a few hops away from standardisation 👀

Title of the PhD course: Advances in Cryptography and Codes - Part 1: SQIsign Lecturers: Andrea Basso (IBM Research Zurich, CH), Luciano Maino (University of Bristol, UK) The course in short: The course offers a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to SQIsign, an advanced isogeny-based digital signature scheme designed to resist attacks from quantum computers. The course will present the mathematical foundations on which SQIsign is based and the algorithmic background necessary to understand and evaluate the security of SQIsign and other isogeny-based protocols. Complementing the theoretical material, the course also includes a practical laboratory where students will use SageMath to study and implement various aspects of SQIsign. Where (in presence): Department of Mathematics, University of Trento (IT) Via Sommarive, 5, 38123, Trento (online): https://unitn.zoom.us/j/88902079708 (Passcode: 532383) When: From May 19, 2025 to May 28, 2025 Detailed Program: Monday 19/05 10:30 - 12:30 (Room A205) & 14:30 - 16:30 (Room A221) Tuesday 20/05 10:30 - 12:30 (Room A215) & 14:30 - 16:30 (Room A213) Wednesday 21/05 10:30 - 12:30 (Room A218) & 14:30 - 16:30 (Room A215) Thursday 22/05 10:30 - 12:30 (Room A209) & 14:30 - 16:30 (Room A220) Friday 23/05 10:30 - 12:30 (Room A215) & 14:30 - 16:30 (Room A215) Tuesday 27/05 11:30 - 12:30 – Q&A, optional (Room A218) Wednesday 28/05 11:30 - 12:30 – Q&A, optional (Room A218)

Next week @lucianomaino.bsky.social and I will teach a week-long course on SQIsign at the University of Trento.

The course will be both in-person and online: if you're interested, you can tune in Monday morning at 10:30 at unitn.zoom.us/j/88902079708
