The first ARMOR meeting was a success with 4 great presentations on different aspects of real-world protocol resilience by @vinifortuna, @xcolwell, @DistributedDave, and @hellais. Join us today at 4pm EST for the follow-up meeting to discuss next steps :

And a side meeting about ARMOR starting in 10 minutes (open) https://t.co/DnhmaiOwgj

TODAY: Stop by Flatiron Public Plaza to learn about Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF (Ticker: $GDLC) and the underlying tokens. Bitcoin Ethereum $SOL $XRP $ADA We’ll be sharing how $GDLC streamlines crypto exposure and giving attendees a limited-edition Grayscale Speedcube to

@CenDemTech Today is Global Encryption Day hosted by Global Encryption Coalition. Check it out here:

@CenDemTech The SplinterCon conference about the splintering Internet is coming up in Paris early December and has opened its call for presentations. It’s a great venue for early ideas in security, networking, and cryptography. Deadline: Oct 31, 2025. Apply here:

I have been working on this on the side as a hobby project. It is a Pixel Art "Resident Evil" type game taking place inside and around a pharma corporation (MediTech Pharma). The story is quite grim and the farther you go the darker it gets, even grotesque. It is about the

@CenDemTech Honored to be nominated for the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) for 2026–27. The IAB sets the Internet’s long-term technical direction and oversees the RFC Series and the IETF/IRTF. Feedback to the nominating committee is welcome: https://t.co/fJMloG8eNx, I'd appreciate it!

@CenDemTech At IETF124, the CFRG (where I co-chair) is testing a new session format: the first slot for new work and informational presentations, the second for consensus and advancing drafts. MLS (secure messaging) is also finalizing its extensions framework. Agenda:

My new explainer with @CenDemTech covers how ECH closes one of the last major metadata gaps in HTTPS by making hostnames private. It’s been approved as an Internet Standard and is close to getting an RFC number:

We are hosting a side meeting for the ARMOR mailing list on Nov 3 at 19:00 EST (Duluth Room). We’ll be discussing how to make network protocols resilient in adversarial environments. Remote attendance welcome via WebEx:

Here are seven things I’m looking forward to in the next month. Tomorrow, I’ll be guest lecturing with Kyle Hogan at NYU for Sunoo Park’s class on public interest tech. The theme: bikeshedding and how to get things done in internet standards.

Suit up with ARMOR and help protect the Internet’s founding promise. Join ARMOR: https://t.co/F0ogyfiQfd Public Archive:

The Internet was built to be open and neutral. ARMOR is about protecting that founding promise by strengthening secure, end-to-end connectivity against today’s adversarial network environment.

For years, the protocols that connect us online have inadvertently exposed user metadata. Network intermediaries exploit this to throttle, block, manipulate, and disrupt end-to-end communication.

Where’s the line between protest and lawbreaking? In this week’s InfluenceWatch Podcast, Michael Watson, Sarah Lee, and Robert Stilson discuss how tax-exempt nonprofits push activism past the point of legality—and what it means for accountability.

That is why I helped launch ARMOR (Adaptive Resilience & Measurement for Operational Robustness), an open IRTF mailing list for academics, engineers, and rights advocates to collaborate on keeping end-to-end connectivity resilient.

Global network interference and traffic disruption are on the rise. In 2024, governments in 41 countries blocked websites and in 25 countries entire social platforms were restricted ( https://t.co/Bi9Ib6bp41).

Thrilled to personally welcome @grittygrease as an advisor to @silencelabs_sl . I’ve long admired Nick’s work at @Cloudflare and @Apple , and it’s inspiring to have him guide us as we build the next chapter of privacy-preserving cryptographic systems. Excited for the journey

Intent matters in crawling. I’m glad to see the IETF stepping up to help websites and crawlers negotiate a shared future. https://t.co/eIVjX3b9pm https://t.co/2FwMiM1421

My Brooklyn Nets season tickets might be filled with lot of hate watching this year now that MPJ is the team’s highest-paid player.

Continuing our look at the Enigma track talks is "Fighting Fire with Venom: Adversarial Defense Against Unauthorized Web Crawling," presented by independent technologist Nick Sullivan. 1/3

Tomorrow on USENIX Security’s Enigma track, I’ll unveil Venom, a new tool framework to sting back at rogue AI web crawlers with some adversarial mischief. If you’re around Seattle, come say hi or ping me! https://t.co/Hwm98C9BDm
