The public and private are not opposites, they are complementary: privacy is needed to sustain the security and integrity of people as well as infrastructure that serve the public good. This workshop will demo working code for running Libp2p traffic through Nym, built with the Nym Rust SDK.

Entropy is a measure of randomness in information theory. This talk will discuss the role of entropy in privacy enhancing technologies from cryptography to noise generating networks and argue that the incalculable is essential for preserving the integrity and freedom of one's sense of self. The talk will draw on works by psychoanalyst Nuar Alsadir and philosophers Byung-Chul Han and Paolo Virno to articulate one of the profound 'accidents' that has accompanied the internet: the loss of cognitive integrity.
