This workshop aims to be a lightweight and easy-to-access install party for Rosenpass: just come and let us help you set up Rosenpass, and try out your first test connection to either another participant's setup, or to a test server provided by us. Participants should bring a computer with Linux installed. Wir können auch auf Deutsch Hilfestellung geben und Fragen beantworten.
We will start the session with a really short introduction to Rosenpass, to give the participants some context. Afterwards, we will get right to it and guide participants during installation and setup of Rosenpass in a standard use case together with WireGuard.
During the session, it will also be possible to ask us anything related to Rosenpass, post-quantum cryptography and the post-quantum transition. We will try to find the time to answer while hopping between participant's laptops to help during setup.
Rosenpass is free and open-source software based on the latest research in the field of cryptography. It is intended to be used with WireGuard VPN, but can work with all software that uses pre-shared keys. It uses two cryptographic methods (Classic McEliece and Kyber) to secure systems against attacks with quantum computers.
Rosenpass is also a science communication project that intends to make cryptography easy to understand for everyone. Check out our website, where we have introduction texts for people who do not know a lot about computers, for tech journalists, for developers, and for cryptographers.
