## 19h30 Encrypted vs Private communications, by Artur Goulão

Is TLS-based communication really private? What apps do we use today that are private or just encrypted? Most of today's best practices of security are not enough for ensure that a system can be private, most implementations are not aware of third party leakage, like audio encoding, rely too heavily on common standards from the web. Other that try to mimic Signal, end up with what is called dumb-encryption, also known as "I'll do my own cypher algorithm". What are the insurances and caveats that can be present in a system need privacy on a M2M or P2P level? Something to find out in this talk!
