How are your Raspberry Jam community events going?
It has been truly excellent for us to see Raspberry Jam events popping back up all over the world in recent months. Our Community Engagement guy Matt has pulled together every single Raspberry Pi-focused event you’ve told us about in one handy place so more people can find a local nerd squad to hang out with and show off their projects.
Matt has received some brilliant photos from David Whiteley of Hackberry Men’s Shed which hosted a Raspberry Jam in Ontario, Canada. Let’s take a look at some of the builds on show: [...]

Real World Crypto 2023 Recap
Last month, hundreds of cryptographers descended upon Tokyo for the first Real World Crypto Conference in Asia. As in previous years, we dispatched a handful of our researchers and engineers to present and attend the conference.
What sets RWC apart from other conferences is that it strongly emphasizes research, collaborations, and advancements in cryptography that affect real-world systems. This year, we happened to notice a couple items that we’ll highlight. First, many talks detailed the painstaking process that is secure cryptographic protocol development. Second, PQC is on the rise and is steadlily advancing from theory into practice. Lastly, sometimes the most interesting cryptographic flaws aren’t even cryptographic flaws: bad RNGs and multi-threading can just as easily break your cryptography.
