Event Description

Encryption has become a cornerstone of digital trust — but who bears the costs of maintaining it, and what is at stake when governments seek greater access to private communications? Udbhav Tiwari will unpack the logic behind end-to-end encryption, the financial and technical challenges of sustaining secure communications infrastructure, and the growing pressure posed by government mandates and surveillance demands — and what these tensions mean for user trust, platform responsibility, and the public interest.

Event Speaker

Udbhav Tiwari, Vice President of Strategy and Global Affairs at Signal
