Ethereum is increasingly reliant on cryptography.  To date we are actively using hash functions, EC-DSA signatures, BLS signatures, and we will be using polynomial commitments after the Cancun-Deneb upgrade.

This workshop highlights the current and future suggestions for cryptographic uses and questions how best to ensure Ethereum remains resilient to cryptographic attacks.  We will cover a large spectrum of topics, such as quantum resilience, long term privacy assurance, threshold cryptography and fuzzing mindsets.  We will hear from top researchers and practitioners both inside and outside of the Ethereum ecosystem.
