Workshop on Decentralized Secure Collaboration

Monday, 7 December 2026
Hong Kong

Workshop overview

Workshop overview

Modern collaboration systems increasingly operate without a single trusted controller. Users, servers, committees, wallets, ledgers, auditors, and verifiers may participate in a common system, while no one party should hold all keys, observe all data, decide all access, or be trusted to report the outcome.

The workshop covers threshold and distributed cryptography, privacy-preserving authentication, zero-knowledge proofs, verifiable computation, post-quantum migration, and deployed cryptographic systems.

Topics

Topics

Three system-facing lenses guide the workshop program and discussion.

01Control and authorization

Threshold signatures, MPC signing, distributed key management, wallets, custody, and decentralized governance.

02Authentication and privacy

Anonymous authentication, credentials, private tokens, revocation, abuse resistance, and decentralized identity.

03Verification and accountability

Zero-knowledge proofs, SNARKs, proof aggregation, verifiable computation, and auditability without disclosure.

04Cross-cutting topics

Post-quantum migration, interoperability, APIs, benchmarks, deployment experience, and open problems.
