Speakers:
Natalie Eskinazi has worked as an engineer at the Zcash Foundation for a year, and her primary focus is on FROST, a threshold signature scheme. Her previous open-source work includes designing a messaging protocol and building decentralized democracy-enhancing tools.
-Conrado Gouvêa is a cryptography engineer at the Zcash Foundation, where he participates in the Zebra (a Zcash node implementation) and FROST (a threshold signature scheme) projects. Previously, he did research on efficient software implementation of cryptographic algorithms and worked in the industry developing software for cryptographic devices such as tokens and hardware security modules (HSMs).
