Claus Peter Schnorr, the great German academic cryptographer of the first wave, has recently passed away. His work had a great impact on today's cryptography, most importantly in two areas: 1. Schnorr laid the foundations of how we build digital signatures, and more generally simple Zero Knowledge proofs, today. Schnorr signatures (a version of which - ECDSA - is used everywhere) and ML-DSA (their quantum analogue) are ubiquitous and will continue to be so in the years to come. 2. Schnorr was the first to suggest and analyze an algorithm that can actually attack lattice-based cryptography. This work, and many improvements of it, actually allows us to have confidence in recently standardized post-quantum cryptography and allows us to understand its security better. https://lnkd.in/dUANRS3u

🚀 Austria takes an important step for its startup and scale-up ecosystem! In the recent Ministerrat (Council of Ministers), the Austrian Federal Government announced the creation of a fund-of-funds (Dachfonds) to mobilize private and institutional capital for startups and scaleups. Our Junge Wirtschaft sees this as a true milestone for Austria as a business location: “We need bold founders — but they need a strong ecosystem. That means: capital, know-how, talent, and modern legal forms. The Dachfonds is a key contribution to the entrepreneurial future of our country.” – Bettina Dorfer-Pauschenwein, JW Federal Chairwoman The Dachfonds will follow a fund-of-funds model, combining a public anchor investment with capital from pension funds, insurance companies, and banks. Through multiple target funds, this capital will directly support Austria’s young and innovative companies. 💡 Why is this so crucial? Because especially in the growth phase, Austrian startups often lack the capital to scale globally. The Dachfonds can close this gap ensuring that innovation, value creation, and jobs stay rooted here in Austria. This is not just policy, it’s a clear signal of future orientation, helping Austria gain visibility and competitiveness as a startup hub on the global stage. 👏 A major win for founders, innovation, and growth in Austria!
