The one with the braid (she/her)
Hello, my name is Braid (she/her) !
I'm working consultant in the Matrix ecosystem, specialized on Encryption, Client development and Healthcare applications.
Before ending up in the Matrix world, I've been working as Software Architect for Cryptography Architecture in healthcare, later on as Matrix Client developer and nowadays as general Matrix Solution Architect.
Apart from work, I'm developer of < polycule > and a couple of other open-source projects. I use AArch64 hardware, fight for digital sovereignty, privacy and libre software everywhere.
I'm member of The Matrix.org Foundation's Events Working Group. You can ask me about railways !

[matrix] as an end-to-end encrypted communication standard has its flaws. Flaws in privacy, flaws in complexity. With the standard of Messaging Layer Security (MLS), the [matrix] ecosystem has the opportunity to address old flaws, rethink room state and increase interoperability.
In this talk, I will provide a beginner's guide on challenges of [matrix] 3.0.
Are we OIDC yet ? YES ! We are !
OpenID Connect evolved as the one and only identity standard in the modern web. With MSC3861, the [matrix] ecosystem is finally moving to OIDC as the authentication standard amongst clients and homeservers.
Out of curiosity, I started implementing a native OIDC implementation from scratch : no OAuth 2.0 library, no Ruma ; just the [matrix] Dart SDK, an HTTP client and the MSC in front of me. This talk will be about the lessons learned.
