We place great trust in cryptography — to keep our communications confidential, to ensure our digital signatures are authentic, and to enable cutting-edge privacy technologies and even remote elections. But how can we be sure that cryptography is truly reliable?
This video features discussions from the Future Cryptography Conference 2025, organized by the Cyber-Security Excellence Hub in Estonia and South Moravia (Horizon Europe CHESS project), the Estonian Academy of Sciences, the Estonian Information System Authority (RIA), and Cybernetica. The event brought together experts to explore what makes cryptographic systems trustworthy — from peer-reviewed research and formal proofs to verified implementations and rigorous certification processes.
The conference also addressed the real-world challenges of cryptographic certification: its cost, its limitations, and the uneven landscape of requirements across countries and domains.
Watch to learn how researchers and practitioners are shaping the future of reliable cryptography — how to create it, evaluate it, and advocate for it.
