Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
News As of Summer 2006 we have decided to relaunch the Journal of Craptology. The main reason is to encourage people to be more silly, and to help encourage the funnier talks in Rump Sessions at Crypto, EuroCrypt etc. Indeed we aim to invite the funniest talks at Rump Sessions as invited papers to be published here, and vice versa to have invited talk sessions at Rump Sessions for the funniest papers published here.
