Sessions
Governments, email vendors, social media websites, and even your favorite food recipes forum require account registrations where you pass your secret, often the same, password over insecure channels, riddled with sniffing agents while subjecting your online identity to theft, data breaches, and a whole bag of privacy concerns.
This doesn't need to be the case. With the massive explosion of fast, secure, and privacy-preserving cryptographic protocols, your credentials need never leave your device and websites don't need to store your passwords for authentication to complete.
In this talk, I'll introduce zero-knowledge password protocols; a well-established field of cryptography that puts privacy first, as well as demo a full implementation of such a protocol live.
