Idiot Loses Key, locks himself out

The International Association of Cryptologic Research has cancelled its annual leadership election after... Whatever this is... https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/11/cryptography-group-cancels-election-results-after-official-loses-secret-key/ >"Unfortunately, one of the three trustees has irretrievably lost their private key, an honest but unfortunate human mistake, and therefore cannot compute their decryption share," the IACR said. "As a result, Helios is unable to complete the decryption process, and it is technically impossible for us to obtain or verify the final outcome of this election." An entirely understandable mistake, I just assume all these people are idiots.
