-# LEAP Encryption Access Project: Encrypted Communications for Mere Mortals
-
-What if I told you that a regular user can get gpg-encrypted communications
-just following a wizard and click-click-click? What if I told you that
-her email can be backuped in the cloud, in a way that a server compromise could
-not reveal the private data? What about an Encrypted Proxy that's at the same
-reasonably secure and easy to use, configure and deloy? 
-
-Well, you don't have to trust me. Just come and see it with your own eyes.
-
-At LEAP we are obsessed with making possible for any service provider to easily
-deploy secure services and for people to use these services without needing to
-learn new software or change their behavior. These services are based on open,
-federated standards, but done right: the provider does not have access to the
-user’s data, and we use open protocols in the most secure way possible. 
-
-On the server side we have created the LEAP Platform, a “provider in a box” set
-of complementary packages and server recipes automated to lower the barriers of
-entry for aspiring secure service providers. On the client side, we have
-created a cross-platform application called Bitmask that automatically
-configures itself once a user has selected a provider and which services to
-enable. Bitmask provides a local proxy that a standard email client can connect
-to, and allows for easy one-click Virtual Private Network (VPN) service.

-# Javascript Web Cryptography: The Good, the Bad, and the Cryptopocalypse
-
-After the Snowden revelations and innumerable SSL bugs, web developers everywhere are now wanting to encrypt all the apps - and maybe TLS is not enough! However, for years Javascript crypto has been wrought with a multitude of libraries and some sketchy behavior in the runtime environment. In addition to secure origins, the W3C has been working quietly for last three years with all major browser vendors to roll out the W3C Web Cryptography API, already in Mozilla, Chrome, and Internet Explorer. The W3C WebCrytpo API that exposes as a normalized, standard, constant-time functions the basic primitives of cryptography needed: PRNG, encryption, decryption, key derivation, key wrapping, and more. We'll give a quick overview of the API, related work like Javascript Web Keys,  and demo of some working code. Also, we're not done yet: There's still open issues ranging from battles over algorithm extensibility and the Cryptopocalypse - issues that must be solved for the WebCrypto API to be a full Recommendation. 
-
- Javascript Web Cryptography is only the first small step in a secure Web. Next up is getting the secure key storage and third-party Javascript code verification the Web needs.  Lastly, we'll outline how anyone can get involved to help build open standards to build what Tim Berners-Lee calls the "Web We Want" - and stop the Web from being subverted.

-
-Growing an Open Source Aquaponics Network
-
-Aquaponics means growing fish together with hydroponic vegetables in an integrated way that minimises the use of resources. We've made a system with a number of sensors and other electronics to monitor and control an aquaponics installation. It is built from open-source hardware and software components. It uses node-red for the logic so that non-programmers can control it.
-
-The system displays a dashboard showing its current status and we've also built a REST API that opens up the data being logged to use by others. We are hoping that others will join us to create a network of aquaponics installations using open monitoring devices and publishing their data to help with much-needed research into sustainable food.

-# Using Bluetooth Low Energy for Good
-
-When you hear Bluetooth, you probably think of annoying consumer tech like awkward hands-free phone guy, wow so fitness: you-took-1,337-steps-today trackers, and stalking customers with ads in retail stores. But, I propose that Bluetooth LE can be used for good, and has many potential useful and interesting applications.
-
-I plan to cover the basic high-level concepts of Bluetooth LE such as scanning and advertising, services, characteristics, and peripheral and central networking. I'll include code examples using the `noble`/`bleno` nodejs modules and briefly touch on firmware and hardware aspects of development.
-
-The talk will conclude with examples of how low cost, low power bluetooth radios can be used to interface with distributed systems in meatspace and facilitate more secure cryptographic transactions.

-# REBOOT THE WEB
-
-Browsers have been quietly and methodically adding native crypto primitives,
-but one gaping attack vector remains: every time you load a page, you load code
-directly from the server.
-
-The person running that server can be coerced, hacked, or forced by sealed court
-order to change that javascript payload at any time. What we need to make web
-crypto viable is a bootloader for the web. Luckily, this is now possible by
-abusing the new application cache API to brick a website except for a
-whitelisted update feed. Now the user can finally be in control of which updates
-they get from web pages, making browser crypto much more secure while preserving
-all the usability benefits of the web.

-# Secession from the broadcast
-
-It's time to travel to the edges because this is where the interesting stuff
-happens.  "What is popular" is rarely a question that helps finding edges.
-I'd like to recap what i learned in 15 months of my re-juvenated and
-re-energized quest into decentralization and what it might mean.  
-
-For one, I'd like to forward a question from Gene Youngblood's
-[Secession from the broadcast lecture][1]: "how can we create on the
-same scale as we can destroy?".  Gene suggests we need to move away from
-the "audience nation" by becoming "political actors" instead of
-"interested spectators of action".
-
-Second, I paraphrase a thought from Adam Ierymenko's [I want to
-believe][2]: If full decentralization is technically too hard currently,
-can we construct and make use of a "Blind Idiot God" (BIG) instance
-which co-ordinates some communication but can not abuse it or even
-understand what's going on precisely?  
-
-Lastly, I wonder how can we create sustained systems and services if we
-don't want the centralized web service cash cow control model?
-As Laura Kolbag [3] pointed out recently in Nuernberg, paying
-for software might not be so bad if the "free to use" models 
-mean surveillance and centralized control. And she notes
-that design and useability should drive open source developments
-instead of features and options.
-
-The edges are where we encounter the others, those who are somehow unlike.
-It's a place where i easily run into fears and look for friends.  At the edges
-there is no central authority suggesting what to think or do next.  And
-the number of people at the edges is always lower than in the center.
-But that's fine, this is how things get moving as i've experienced
-myself a number of times now.

-The difference between Freedom and Empowerment is the difference between the people inside
-of the bank and the homeless people out front. Cryptography is not freedom, it locks us out
-of data which passes through our own computers. Bitcoin is not freedom, it makes us provide
-goods and services to people we don't know and it makes our financial transactions public.

-CryptPad is the **zero knowledge** (the server cannot see what you type) realtime

-voluntary associations.

-# Viva La Crypto
-
-A gameplan for the crypto-revolution. The time has for a new internet.
-There is the technical questions of how do you build a viable system,
-but that is the easy bit. The hard question, is how do we deploy it
-to the world, how do we make something that people want to adopt...
-
-And what do we build? what kind of world *could* we create?
-To motivate ourselves, we need a utopian vision, but to achieve
-_anything_ we need to keep our eyes on the road, and most of all,
-build something simple. Dumb even.
-
-This could be science fiction, but instead of writing a book,
-we are just gonna build it.
