ARLINGTON, VA August 27, 2024
Two Six Technologies is proud to recognize Ian Blumenfeld’s presentation at the prestigious Crypto 2024 conference (https://crypto.iacr.org/2024/), organized by The International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR), a non-profit scientific organization whose purpose is to further research in cryptology and related fields (https://iacr.org/).
Ian Blumenfeld is the Chief Scientist for Mathematics at Two Six Technologies, and he gave the keynote speech on Formal Analysis for SKA protocols at the Symmetric Key Agreement Workshop, an affiliated workshop at Crypto 2024 (https://skaw2024.com/). Given the risks of a foreign adversary building a quantum computer, and uncertainty around proposed post-quantum algorithms, symmetric key agreement based protocols are an important line of defense for secure communications. Ian Blumenfeld discussed the formal verification of these protocols, explaining how to evaluate whether the protocols defend against an important model of an attacker.
