Veilid

Presented at DEF CON 31 (2023), Aug. 12, 2023, 10 a.m. (115 minutes).

Veilid is a new, distributed communication protocol developed by Cult of the Dead Cow's Dildog (of BO2K fame). This p2p, E2EE, distributed protocol is being released at Defcon 31, fully open source, and with an example app called Veilid Chat. These demos will cover setting up an identity, connecting to others, deploying heavy nodes to support the network, and contributing to the project.

Presenters:

• TC Johnson
  TC: Rubber Duck to the actual developer of Veilid. Here to get you started on the future we were promised -- communication free of a profit motive, free of corporate overlords, and free of other intrusive eyeballs.
• Deth Veggie
  The Deth Vegetable: cDc member since December 1990. Minister of Propaganda If everything is to be believed, he has alternately been a Special Forces Commando, Mexican wrestler, comicbook villain, bodyguard to Mr. T, designer drug manufacturer, electronics wizard, and used tire recycler.
