HACS Workshop Recent years have seen major advances in the application of formal methods and other high assurance verification techniques to software.At the same time, there’s been a rapid increase in the use of cryptography to protect civil society and critical information systems.We see these trends continuing to converge.The importance and complexity of cryptographic software makes it an ideal applicationfor formal and high-assurance verification.The Workshop on High Assurance Crypto Software (HACS) was launched in 2016by Gilles Barthe, Ben Laurie, and Trevor Perrin to drive this convergence forward.As a yearly event, we’ve been bringing the world’s best cryptographic developers(from open source and industry) together with top experts in formal verification and high assurance methodologies.The goal is to foster collaborations towards making cryptographic software flawless.HACS organizersThe current members of the HACS organizing committee are: Gilles Barthe, Karthikeyan Bhargavan, Sofía Celi, Deirdre Connolly, Allen Gunn, Diane Hosfelt, Ben Laurie, Trevor Perrin, Peter Schwabe, and Cathie YunHACS 2025HACS 2025 will be in Sofia, Bulgaria, on March 23–24 plus an optional "hack day" on the 25th.HACS is an invite-only event, but for 2025 we accept self-nominations via applications over here.You can read more about the workshop plans here.Event Expectations / Code of ConductHACS is observingAspiration’s Event Expectationsas well asAspiration’s Participation guidelines.Sponsors of HACS 2023HACS would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors.The following companies and organizations are supporting HACS 2024: Lead sponsors: Amazon Apple Google SandboxAQ Signal Other sponsors: NCC Group Paul Kocher -->
