Speaker Nikolas Melissaris talks about What Is Cryptography Hiding from Itself? by Diego F. Aranha and Nikolas Melissaris.

Every cloud has a ciphertext lining Cloud Encryption chaired by Joseph Bonneau: E2EE for collaborative docs (yes, really), and random-access AEAD that's actually fast and lightweight. Can we have both? Apparently, yes.

The quantum future is not waiting. Post-Quantum Constructions chaired by Douglas Stebila: hybrid KEMs, threshold ML-DSA, a stronger Signal handshake (XHMQV), and a full call to action for quantum-safe Signal group messaging. #realworldcrypto

Passkeys, TLS, and digital identity: Christopher Harrell from @yubico.com takes the stage defending the open Internet. The privacy stakes of authentication have never been higher and the window to get this right is now. #realworldcrypto

Good morning from Taipei Day 2 of Real World Crypto: privacy, passkeys, PQC, cloud crypto, and some big questions about cryptography's place in society. We're not letting up. #realworldcrypto
