There are essentially six different categories of sessions and activities: keynotes, main tracks, developer rooms, lightning talks, stands, and certification exams.

BEST LIGHTNING TALKS!!

Here I am going to give you a brief summary of some interesting talks that I watched and you should also look for them. Hopefully, you like them!!😊😊

Matthias Kirschner was the first speaker, He added or the main aim of his talk is that Civil society needs Free Software hackers.

Verifpal:- Cryptographic Protocol Analysis for Students and Engineers!!✨✨

Verifpal

Verifpal is new software for verifying the security of cryptographic protocols. Building upon contemporary research in symbolic formal verification, Verifpal’s main aim is to appeal more to real-world practitioners, students, and engineers without sacrificing comprehensive formal verification features.

Encrypt your collaboration with CryptPad

He has shown a real demonstration of how we can encrypt our data and collaborate with others in real-time using the CryptPad Open Source project.

Ludovic Dubost

The Internet business model is about “surveillance capitalism” and every day our data is being used to target us with more and more invading advertisements, and everyday data is being leaked by Internet business and cloud providers.CryptPad is using end-to-end encryption to protect our data while including innovative algorithms to allow collaboration between users. With CryptPad, the cloud hoster cannot read our data and if data leaks, hackers only get encrypted data that they cannot read without the keys.

Open Source Support Program by OTA!!👏👏

Gratien D’haese

The Open Technology Assembly (OTA) is a non-profit organization whose main goal was to promote and organize meetings around Unix and Open Source in general. In his wonderful talk told us about many things about OTA that are new to me. I think you should look for it.✌

So in the end, it was great fun for me and a very knowledgeable event for a newbie like me I learned many new things here and know many more great things that will help me for the betterment of my future.👓👓

These are some highlights of lightning talks that can blow your mind so, in my opinion, you should definitely watch them. There are many other talks also which you can refer to to get some more knowledge because
