Are you an #EPFL student and looking for a #Summer #job? If you like #golang, dabbled in #decentralized systems, this might be for you:

> D-Voting is EPFL’s e-voting platform based on the DELA blockchain. The project started in 2021 and has been continuously developed by EPFL students and research software engineers from #DEDIS and the #C4DT. We are looking for a student to help us make the project leaner and consolidate its code base to prepare it for future developments.

We're setting up a digital independence test instance at #C4DT

https://cloud.c4dt.org

If you have a Switch eduID account, you can test-drive various apps in there. It's a bit slow, so have patience! Also, this is for TEST-DRIVE only, and should not be seen as a reliable instance!

Also let us know if there is a web app you would like to see there. If it's possible, we'll add it.

For our #eID work with @cdengler and Clement Humbert we created a reading list with several presentations of our sources related to #ZeroKnowledgeProofs. You can either look at it on github:

https://eid-privacy.github.io/wp2/2026/04/22/zkp-vault.html

Or download it and open it with Obsidian to browse around. Of course we'd be very happy if you create a PR with your preferred paper on ZKPs!

#amld2026 #AMLD #C4DT Nathan Hamiel talks about "Assessing the Disruption by AI Agents".

"Generative AI is one of the most manipulative technology we invented."

"Creating high-value targets by slamming internal, external, sensitive, and non-sensitive data together in an LLM."

Parler de souveraineté numérique en Europe devient de plus en plus courant. Même si ça va prendre beaucoup d'années d'avoir un contre-poids aux grandes entreprises américaines, les solutions émergent et s'organisent. Une fois qu'il y aura de l'argent qui alimente ces solutions alternatives, open source ou pas, l'utilité de ces solutions va augmenter drastiquement.

Two weights and two measures: if the EU fines Apple and Google over privacy concerns, there is a lot of critizism from the other side of the Atlantic. Now Texas does the same, with even heftier fines, and there seems to be no outcry. Personally I'm all for fining companies who abuse our private data, let's hope that this last fine from Texas encourages the EU to continue their good work in this domain!

OK, that took very long, but it finally happened: I have my #C4DT running t-shirt! I think the idea came up first pre-Covid, and constant nagging from my side made it happen!

So if you see me nagging you, don't resist. I'm persistent :)

@neiman @cdengler @ando as far as I know it's working mostly out-of-the box. We had a first semester student project to try to add automatic rooms configured by the LDAP authorizations of the student. But this was more exploratory.

Currently there are at least two instances here at EPFL - the semi-official one, and ours from #C4DT. But C4DT's users will move over to the semi-official one at some point.

I'm proud to have accompanied Julia for her final project, "Trac(k)ers on the web". She set out to understand what cookies are, how they work, and how the ad-industry works together to know all about you:

@matthew_d_green here at #epfl in CH, there have been a couple of research papers on this. With our #C4DT we worked on some of those, like:

https://factory.c4dt.org/showcase/drynx/presentation
And
https://factory.c4dt.org/showcase/spindle/presentation

One is based on elliptic curves, the other is based on a CKKS implementation in go, available here:

https://factory.c4dt.org/showcase/lattigo/technical

There is a startup using these projects to offer FHE to hospitals and finance:
