Most sessions from this year's Open Source Cryptography Workshop last month in Taipei are now posted on the Internet Archive. You can find them, and photos, on the workshop's site: https://oscwork.shop/2026
We thank everyone who participated, attended, proposed topics, led sessions, and made #OSCW a successful part of Real World Crypto 2026. And we especially thank our generous sponsor, Google, and the IACR for hosting us as an Affiliated Event this year! #rwc2026 #rwc #oscw2026
I'm not sharing this to shit on anyone at #RWC2026. My favorite people in tech are often found there, and the organizers put a lot of thought, effort, and care into making the vibe good.
I also don't ascribe any malice to the speakers. They probably didn't think to ask these questions, and didn't think to put them in their slide deck. Maybe they've self-selected into an environment that doesn't foster that kind of inquiry. Maybe they considered it but cut it out for time.
But if we're going to talk about this sort of thing,, we need to actually address these questions, even if there isn't a comfortable answer.

Say it louder, for the people in the back!
The Open Source Cryptography Workshop is returning for 2026, before Real World Crypto in Taipei. We are calling for session proposals, both presentations and hands-on workshops, on topics of interest to those who work on and with open source crypto. https://oscwork.shop/2026 #oscw #rwc #oscw2026 #rwc2026
