NIST PQC seminar # 13 (Tuesday 2024-May-21, 10am EDT)
Bros, Maxime P. (IntlAssoc)
Dear all,
I hope you're doing well.
I'm glad to announce NIST PQC Seminars # 13 which will happen at 10 a.m. US EDT (Eastern Daylight Time, Washington D.C., UTC-4) on Tuesday May 21th, 2024. Please find more details below.
Recall that we use Zoom for Government (ZoomGov), so everything will be the same as with the usual Zoom: you can join in the browser or with your usual Zoom desktop application (we recommend this option for stability), and no need to have a Zoom account to join.
The actual and detailed invitation will be published on the NIST PQC Seminars website soon:

### Title ###
Constructions for digital signatures Part I: Introduction to MPC-in-the-Head
### Abstract ###
The MPC-in-the-Head (MPCitH) paradigm is a versatile framework to design post-quantum signatures, by relying on secure multi-party computation (MPC) techniques. This paradigm has recently been improved in a series of works which makes it a practical and tunable tool. In this talk, I will propose a general introduction to MPCitH and provide an overview of the state of the art that led to the MPCitH-based candidates that have been submitted to the first round of the NIST call for additional post-quantum signatures.
### Speakers and Affiliations ###
Dr. Thibauld Feneuil, CryptoExperts, France
### Mini bios ###
Thibauld is a research engineer in cryptography at CryptoExperts (France). He received his PhD in 2023 from Sorbonne University (France) under the supervision of Jean Claude Bajard, Antoine Joux, and Matthieu Rivain. His main research topics are zero-knowledge proofs and post-quantum signatures. He is involved in the current NIST standardization process for Post-Quantum Cryptography as a co-submitter of several MPCitH-based submissions.
