This is freaking awesome. The amount of work the global cryptographic community is putting into keeping our conversations out of the hands of our adversaries is monumental and under-appreciated. Respect. If you’re technical at all, scan through the paper summaries.

@timbray OK, but the name of that conference made me really nervous for a moment. I guess it must have had that name since crypto used to mean cryptography.

@bodil @timbray
I wonder if we’re at the point where cryptocurrency’s star has sunk low enough that we can start pedantically correcting people who call it “crypto:” “You mean cryptocurrency. ‘Crypto’ is short for ‘cryptography.’” Just annoying reply-guying over it every time somebody posts favorably about it.

@inthehands @timbray I'd like to believe a better world is possible.
