Stream RWC 2017 Online for Free.
The Real World Crypto conference is one of the best annual cryptography conferences in the world. This year’s conference is taking place at Columbia University in Manhattan from Jan 4th to 6th.
The conference covers a wide range of topics in the field of cryptography, including password security, TLS, secure messaging, and crypto design. Many sessions cover new discoveries and current work in the fields. Attendees and presenters come from both the academic and professional fields.
This is the first year that the sessions will be live-streamed on the internet. The taped presentations will also be posted online after the conference ends.
The first day of the conference is already underway. It runs each day from 9am EST to ~5pm. You can catch the live-stream here for free.
You can view the session program here. If you are interested in TLS, check out Session 1: TLS Engineering (which occurred this morning, and will be available for viewing after the conference ends) and Session 13: TLS Attacks on the afternoon of the 6th.
We will be covering and summarizing the best talks from RWC 2017 next week.
The Levchin Prize
This morning the Levchin Prize for Real-World Cryptography was given to two recipients at RWC 2017.
Joan Daemen, a Belgian cryptographer was awarded the prize for two major contributions to the field. In 2001 he co-authored the AES algorithm (Advanced Encryption Standard). AES is still widely used today and considered one of the most secure ciphers currently available. He also received the prize for his work on the SHA-3 hashing algorithm.
The other recipients of the Levchin prize were Moxie Marlinspike and Trevor Perrin for their work developing the Signal protocol. The Signal protocol has likely had the fastest adoption rate of any encryption protocol of all time. In 2016 it was adopted by WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, reaching an estimated 1 billion users. The Signal protocol is also used by its own app, appropriately named Signal, available for iOS, Android, and Mac.
During Marlinspike’s acceptance speech, he reportedly made an off-color joke. Unlike the other Levchin prize recipients, his speech was not recorded.
