FHE.org would like to thank @LeastAuthority for their continued sponsorship this year (and last!) of the FHE.org 2026 conference.

Sponsorships like Least Authority's make it possible to provide a high quality conference with great speakers and to waive registration fees for all students.

This #DataPrivacyDay we recognize the global community working to build safer, more private digital systems. From privacy engineers to open-source maintainers, your work empowers users and protects rights.

Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:

“No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.”

We not only build privacy-respecting technologies, we also help others protect privacy through security audits that strengthen the integrity of digital systems.

Human Rights Day | United Nations

Human Rights Day commemorates the day on which, in 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

@phreeli has launched. A new privacy-focused phone service that doesn’t compromise on user rights.

We’re proud to have contributed to this project by designing the Double-Blind Armadillo architecture: a new privacy-preserving system and cryptographic protocol that ensures no single party can link a person’s identity, payments, and communications.

Your privacy is Phreeli's priority.

Anonymized data is often treated as exempt from privacy obligations. However, the rise of anonymity washing, where organizations exaggerate anonymization to avoid regulation, is becoming a serious concern. https://leastauthority.com/blog/anonymous-data-in-the-age-of-ai-hidden-risks-and-safer-practices/

Anonymous Data in the Age of AI: Hidden Risks and Safer Practices - Least Authority

Data protection laws often do not apply to the lesser-known category of “anonymous data”. There are misleading claims and new risks.

Least Authority

Least Authority was founded in 2011 on the principle that strong cryptography and minimal authority are essential to digital autonomy.

More than 300 audits later, we’re still building with the same cypherpunk values: privacy by default, decentralized systems, and freedom-compatible design.

The mission continues. https://hackernoon.com/cypherpunks-write-code-zooko-wilcox-and-zcash

Cypherpunks Write Code: Zooko Wilcox & Zcash | HackerNoon

Zooko Wilcox grew up coding and questioning systems, and that path led him to create the privacy coin Zcash. Let's see more of this story!

We’re celebrating a milestone: the MoonMath Manual has been downloaded 15,000 times! It’s a free resource for anyone curious about zk-SNARKs—from building first intuitions to diving deeper into the math behind privacy-preserving systems. Have you read it yet? We’d love to hear what you think: https://leastauthority.com/community-matters/moonmath-manual/

Privacy matters. So does compliance. But can we have both? Yes - we can.

Balancing Privacy-Enhancing Technologies and Legal Disclosure Obligations - Least Authority

Privacy-enhancing technologies, in particular Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), can challenge, reinforce, or redefine these disclosure obligations.

Workshops, meetups, conferences, unconferences — we’d love to hear what’s on your radar in cryptography, security, privacy, zero-knowledge, Web3, and beyond, and where good conversations are happening.
