The Cryptographers' Panel
summary
Panel covers NFTs (analogy to a token pointing at a picture, plan to mint an MIT report page as an NFT for charity), a high-profile claim of a new Schnorr-style factoring method that has no demonstrated factorizations and whose implementations report insufficient relations, contested quantum supremacy and Majorana claims that are retracted claims, machine‑learning failures where adversarial examples break NLP and robustness, SolarWinds and Intel fab moves as supply‑chain systemic risk, and a consensus that crypto standards are strong while real deployments and resilience remain brittle.
