Long ago, when I was a graduate student at UCLA, Tal Mor encouraged me to work on some quantum cryptography problems. Recently, the main fruit of that work has appeared in the Journal of Cryptology. This paper weighs in at 59 pages. Only my coauthors will understand what a great relief it is to finally have that paper completely finished. Congratulations to my other coauthors: Eli Biham, Michel Boyer, Tal Mor and Vwani Roychowdhury.
This morning I did a 5K run to raise money to fight cancer. Catherine Sembajwe-Reeves’ sister Sophie was one of the organizers. It was for charity and fun, but I was pleased to finish second place. It was my first organized run and it was a lot of fun. My time was 21:52 on my watch. I didn’t see their official finish line (which was off to the side) and stopped running for a moment. I crossed their line at 22:07. So, I have my goal for my next 5K: 20 minutes.
Congratulations to the other ACIS people that also participated: Vineet Chadha, Arijit Ganguly, and Catherine Sembajwe-Reeves.
