Event Details

Blockchain technologies have great potential for impact on business, government, and society. However, for blockchains to be widely adopted and accepted, it is imperative that academia and industry address security of blockchain technologies (e.g., smart contracts). Conversely, blockchains can act as a powerful substrate for security and cryptographic technologies.

To address key challenges and developments in these budding new fields of 'Security of Blockchain' and 'Blockchain for Security', the Waterloo Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute (CPI) is organizing a workshop on Blockchain+Security, where a set of world-leading experts in these topics from industry and academia will give talks from Saturday, October 5 to Sunday, October 6th at the University of Waterloo. This workshop is open to undergraduate and graduate students, academics, industry professionals, as well as blockchain enthusiasts.
