The two authors of SSLeay — back in one room, thirty years on. The names around them are the people you ship under.
Chosen for the work, not the title.
Half maintain the libraries you ship. The other half write the law you'll be audited against — and the cryptography neither has caught up with.
Cryptographers, engineers, and the lawyers putting the work into law. Three guilds, sharing one corridor, for the first time in this community's modern history. Click any plate to read the bio and the talk abstract.
Where the algorithms are forged. Number theorists, lattice people, the post-quantum migration leads.
Where the code meets the wire. OpenSSL maintainers, FIPS-module engineers, and the people who put the algorithms on the network.
Where the work is put into law. CRA, FIPS-140, regulators, lawyers — the rules the code now has to satisfy.
The CFP closes 15 July 2026. Forty-minute talks, ninety-minute tutorials, or lightning sessions — reviewed blind, in pairs.
