Imagine running a global election and losing the only key to unlock the results! That’s what happened to the cryptology world’s top research group, IACR.

Rerunning the election could cost $200K, delay research funding, and shake trust in the whole industry. Even the best tech can’t fix a simple mistake! #News #cybersecurity #cryptography
