Real-World Cryptography 2021

Notes I took while virtually attending the 2021 Real World Cryptography Symposium.

Introduction

The Real World Crypto Symposium, part of IACR, was held online in 2021 due to the pandemic. It had been due to take place in Amsterdam, Holland - that will now be the venue for RWC2022.

Normally the conference is held over three days. This year, it was spread across four shorter days, enabling attendees from a wider range of timezones to attend remotely.

As usual the programme is a mix of academic, industrial/commercial, government and public policy. Quite a few talks are fairly accessible for someone who’s taken Dan Boneh’s Crypto 101 course coursera. But others are harder to follow.

This year the pandemic inspired a new session with talks on Contact Tracing. The other 12 sessions were largely the same as in previous years' conferences.
