DESCRIPTION:The public key infrastructure that secures the web has been ar
 ound for nearly three decades. Since 2012\, it has become a critical (albe
 it unappreciated) aspect of daily life for billions of people. In that sho
 rt time\, a dizzying number of technologies to improve security and privac
 y on the web have been designed\, deployed\, and\, in many cases\, depreca
 ted. We’ll look at those which have become fundamental to online securit
 y\, those which didn’t work out in practice\, and the unsolved research 
 problems remaining. We’ll also peek behind the curtain to see how contem
 porary realpolitik between countries over their ‘digital sovereignty’\
 , profit incentives of corporate stakeholders and increasingly expansive g
 overnment regulations threaten the WebPKI as it exists today.\n\nNote: Ple
 ase do not post URLs for the talk\, and especially Zoom links to Twitter b
 ecause automated systems will pick them up and disrupt our meeting.\n\nhtt
