Rosenpass – Securing Cryptographic Applications Against Quantum Computer Attacks
- Date: Thursday, June 27
- Time: 9am EDT / 1pm UTC
- Who: Karolin
- Facilitator: Mardiya
- Where: On TCU Mattermost "IF Square" Channel.
- Don't have an account to the TCU Mattermost? you can request one following the directions here.
Join us on 27th June to hear from Karolin, a cryptographer at Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy in Germany, who will be talking about:
- Rosenpass, an add-on for WireGuard that adds post-quantum security to WireGuard.
- The importance of how post-quantum security provides a layer of protection for cryptographic applications against quantum computers.
- Why quantum computers can attack modern cryptographic applications and what techniques are used to protect applications.
- How Rosenpass can be used by tech-savvy users to protect their own infrastructure against quantum attacks.
Bio: Karolin is a cryptographer at Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy in Germany. She spent over a decade building various products for start-ups and large tech corporations alike before dedicating herself to cryptography research out of disillusionment with the non-inclusive and often useless products she built in industry. Her research focuses on post-quantum cryptography and applying the mathematical principles of cryptography research to building resilient social structures. In Rosenpass e.V. – the governance organization attached to the Rosenpass project – she acts as chairperson, organizer and project manager.
What is Glitter Meetup?
Glitter Meetup is the weekly town hall of the digital rights and Internet Freedom community at the IF Square on the TCU Mattermost, at 9am EDT / 1pm UTC. It is a text-based chat where digital rights defenders can share regional and project updates, expertise, ask questions, and connect with others from all over the world! Do you need an invite?
