Workshop on Decentralized Secure Collaboration

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.
Threshold signatures, MPC signing, distributed key management, wallets, custody, and decentralized governance.
Anonymous authentication, credentials, private tokens, revocation, abuse resistance, and decentralized identity.
Zero-knowledge proofs, SNARKs, proof aggregation, verifiable computation, and auditability without disclosure.
Post-quantum migration, interoperability, APIs, benchmarks, deployment experience, and open problems.
