[skex] Symmetric Key Agreement Workshop - Crypto 2024 affiliate event

[Sophie Stevens <[e-mail]>]

Greetings all,

I would like to announce a forthcoming workshop that is an affiliated event of Crypto 2024 that will be of interest to those on this mailing list. The Symmetric Key Agreement Workshop (SKAW) is an opportunity to explore ideas related to all things SKEX-related:

In the past few decades, asymmetric cryptography has been the rising star of key agreement protocols. In this workshop, we aim to shine light on the secure alternative of Symmetric Key Agreement. There is growing evidence for real-world use cases of SKA by various IETF standards, NIST guidelines, and NSA requirements, including the use of Symmetric Pre-Shared Keys for enhanced quantum-resistant protection. The goal of this Workshop is to examine how symmetric keys can reduce reliance on asymmetric cryptography by providing alternative and/or additional layers of security. We aim to gather academic and industrial experts to discuss the solutions that symmetric key agreement can offer.

We welcome submissions, both technical contributions and thoughtful discourse. Our goal is to enable conversations about symmetric key exchange, and we hope to see many of you there.

Please submit talk proposals by midnight AOE June 2, 2024 to [e-mail]<mailto:[e-mail]>
Website: Workshop Website (skaw2024.com)<https://skaw2024.com/>

Best wishes,
Sophie Stevens
(SKAW Program Chair)
