Crypto-Metaprogramming: an alternative to the conventional Model-View-Controller Architecture --- Liang Ng
“We continue from the previous presentation to establish Crypto-Metaprogramming as an alternative to the conventional Model-View-Controller architecture. In conventional MVC, front end to back end communications employ public key cryptography but the key pair is not available at the disposal of the user or programmer. We change this scheme, with many benefits, starting with simplifying designs of a large range of applications.”

Screen Shot --- Everyone
We'll pause to record the roster for posterity. If you're on the lam, turn off your camera or log out for two minutes. Remember that the whole meeting is recorded for YouTube.
