MCH2022 Curated content
How would a real life social media be like?
Yes, we have been using social media to connect for a long time now, but 2020 made us dependent on them more than ever. It's time we have an open dialogue. Burst our individual filter bubbles and communicate what our individual experience of social media feels like. In this session, we will come together, interact, go through a bunch of skillfully crafted activities and draw conclusions on what's the real state of our virtual lives? Which humane components are lacking? What extra aspects have been added? How is it affecting our bonding, privacy, individuality, organization, and dialogue?
This session is aimed at identifying and learning about several unrealistic aspects that have entered into our lives knowingly/unknowingly through prominent social media.
The session will be split into multiple activities embedded with knowledge bits around fascinating research being conducted on the oh-so-several ramifications of social media.
We will do a quick mix and match of popular opinions about social media amongst the group and perform thoughtful analysis of how we engage with these platforms by mapping the tech into real-life space-time. Thereby identifying the gaps and ineffectual features of social media focusing on how social media is affecting our bonding, privacy, individuality, organization, and dialogue.
Channeling in our high spirits, we'd attempt to redesign the interface that can connect people across the globe in a more human manner.
Prerequisite: Attendees need to have at least one active social media account (LinkedIn/Twitter/Facebook/Instagram etc) and bring along their mobile phones with internet connectivity :)

This is a submission for a keynote talk at MCH2022. The Internet is both a familiar, comfortable place as well as a bottomless rabbit hole you can lose yourself in. The Internet has always been like this from its inception, the difference now is the scale and consequences are almost immeasurable - and it tests the limits of human imagination. When you look into the mirror of the Internet what you see reflected back depends on what you are looking for. It has become largely a reflection of ...

Have you ever forgotten a passphrase or lost a hardware token? Lost access to enough Bitcoin to buy a pizza or two? Encryption is fundamental to securing our liberties, but key and password management remain difficult even for professionals, let alone the general public. This talk presents Passcrow, an Open Source project attempting to address one of crypto's largest usability issues: password and key recovery in a decentralized environment.

Thanks to DNSSEC and DANE, it is possible to automatically verify user@domain.name identities by checking with domain.name servers. The real problem however, is integration with existing protocols, instead of inventing something completely new and perhaps web-only. The purpose of our work on Realm Crossover mechanisms has been to design generic solutions that extend many different application protocols, without changing their protocol specs.
