Apple’s Memory Integrity Enforcement

Apple announced its new suite of memory security improvements from the top of the stack all the way to the bottom, so we dug through what they did and how they did it (performantly). Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FJwOI2PliUTranscript: https://securitycryptographywhatever.com/20…

The IACR Can't Decrypt with Matt Bernhard

The International Association of Cryptologic Research held their regular election using secure voting software called Helios…and lost the keys to decrypt the results, leaving them with no choice but to throw out the vote and call a new election. Hilarity ensues. We welcome special guest Matt Bernha…

Python Cryptography Breaks Up with OpenSSL with Paul Kehrer and Alex Gaynor

The Python cryptography module, pyca/cryptography, has mostly been a sane wrapper around a pile of C, so that users get performant cryptography on the many, many platforms Python targets. Therefore its maintainers, Alex Gaynor and Paul Kehrer, have become intimately familiar with OpenSSL. Recently,…

Standardizing Pure PQC

Standardizing cryptography involves a lot of opinions. Luckily, the gamer presidents are on it. Come on, you all know the drill. This is the last time I do this. "Security Cryptography Whatever" is hosted by Deirdre Connolly (@durumcrustulum), Thomas Ptacek (@tqbf), and David Adrian (@dadrian)

Episode 23. Improve Your Cognitive Functioning after Cancer with Dr. Deirdre Connolly

In this episode, Dr. Deirdre Connolly, a leading researcher in cancer survivorship and cognitive health, discusses chemo brain, cognitive changes after cancer treatment, and practical management strategies. Learn about assessment methods, interventions, and how survivors can regain confidence and c…

AI Finds Vulns You Can't With Nicholas Carlini

Returning champion Nicholas Carlini comes back to talk about using Claude for vulnerability research, and the current vulnpocalypse. It's all very high-brow stuff, and the gang learns some bitter lessons. Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IDbFLu9Ug8 Transcript: https://securitycryp…

Facing the Vulnpocalypse with lcamtuf

We talk to Michał Zalewski (lcamtuf) about the vulnpocalypse and if we even need fuzzers anymore. This episode may be export controlled at a future date. Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI9CSgB4p9o Transcript: https://securitycryptographywhatever.com/2026/06/14/facing-the-vulnpoca…

Trump's Golden Post-Quantum EO(s)

The dear leader has actually bleated out some not-dumb executive orders (EOs) to accelerate adoption of post-quantum crypto for the US government! This looks to be in response to a flurry of advancements in quantum computing and quantum attack algorithms a few months ago. We cram legalize into our …

An Odyssey of Lattice Cryptography with Mark Schultz-Wu

We invited Mark Schultz-Wu on the podcast to talk about the history of lattice cryptography. When lattices are explained in plain english, they are actually quite simple! I don't think any of us have ever seen Deirdre so happy. If you're watching the video version, there's a section that's 6.1 minu…

AI Lattice Proofs with Chris Peikert

The robots are at it again, and this time they’re solving, and breaking(?), math and cryptography! Things have been happening in the lattice corner including new leapfrogging complexity results in the closest vector problem (CVP), AND a possible poly-time quantum attack against the dihedral coset p…
