For me the word “published” implies open access when referring to scientific papers. A paper that is pay-walled, is therefore by definition not published and does therefore not need to be cited. Cryptographic papers specifically, should be uploaded on the IACR ePrint Archive, there is really no reason not to.
Doctoral Thesis: Cryptographic Protocols in a Post-Quantum World
I successfully defended this thesis on the 3rd of February 2025 at Eindhoven University of Technology and received my degree of “Doctor” right after.

The cover art is based on a picture I took from the top of the Sea Candle on Enoshima in the Kanagawa Prefucture of Japan. This is in part a reference to the widely misunderstood and underappreciated anime “Elfenlied”, whose locations I visited on my trip to Japan.
