Keynote
summary
Keynote argues that blockchain and cryptographic privacy tech create real national security risks: North Korea and Iran use crypto for sanctions evasion, WMD proliferation, and terrorism financing; mixers drew a FinCEN 311 designation; public ledgers plus advancing AI make deanonymization likelier. Cited responses include the 2022 Executive Order on Responsible Development of Digital Assets, NIST’s August post‑quantum crypto standards, NSF’s $23M privacy‑preserving data program, and experiments using homomorphic encryption, MPC, and zero‑knowledge proofs as practical mitigations.
