CHESS Cryptography Day in Prague
As part of the OpenSSL Conference, the CHESS project (Cyber-security Excellence Hub in Estonia and South Moravia) will stage a short pre-conference event focused on practical and emerging topics in cryptography from Czech and Estonian researchers.
The programme will cover a range of topics relevant to the OpenSSL community, including multi-party cryptographic protocols, testing and validation of cryptographic implementations, formal methods, analyses of certified cryptographic products, and privacy-enhancing technologies. While grounded in CHESS project results, the session will also extend to broader cryptographic challenges and current developments.
The event aims to provide a space for discussion, knowledge exchange, and interaction between researchers, developers, and practitioners. It will be followed by an informal networking, offering opportunities to connect with contributors across academia and industry and explore potential collaboration.
More detailed programme coming soon.
WHEN: 12 October 2026, 14:00–17:00
WHERE: Hotel Diplomat, Prague 6 (Evropská 370/15, Prague)
Participation in the CHESS event is free of charge.
