More on Conferences vs. Journals
In a previous post , the notion of treating conferences and journals on equal footing was discussed, challenging the prevailing view among certain quarters that journals hold an always-superior status over conferences. In that post, I pointed out instances where impactful results can emerge from conferences, and not necessarily exclusively from journals. Here, I present other examples from the literature. " Integral Cryptanalysis on Full MISTY1 " by Yasuke Todo was initially presented at CRYPTO 2015 and the research was later extended and published in Vol. 30 (2017) of the Journal of Cryptology (JoC) . The original work was the first to succesfully attack the full-round MISTY1, and is typically regarded as a significant result in cryptography. " Improved Key Recovery Attacks on Reduced-Round AES with Practical Data and Memory Complexities " by Achiya Bar-On and others was first unveiled at CRYPTO 2018. An extended version of this research was subsequently published
