§ 06 — The names set so far

The anchor names. — hand-set, in plate order —

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.

§ The three rooms The voices, by guild

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.

Sodalitas Cryptographica

The Cryptographers’ Guild

Where the algorithms are forged. Number theorists, lattice people, the post-quantum migration leads.

Sodalitas Fabricae

The Engineers’ Guild

Where the code meets the wire. OpenSSL maintainers, FIPS-module engineers, and the people who put the algorithms on the network.

Sodalitas Iuris

The Law & Standards Guild

Where the work is put into law. CRA, FIPS-140, regulators, lawyers — the rules the code now has to satisfy.
