Tim co-wrote SSLeay with Eric Young in the mid-1990s — the cryptographic library that, after they joined RSA in 1998, was forked and continued by the community as OpenSSL. Without that original codebase there would be no OpenSSL. Tim co-founded Cryptsoft and is now Founder & President of the OpenSSL Corporation. His table is for the "how did we get here" story told first-hand by one of the people who wrote the first lines — and the "where do we go from here" question asked seriously.
David has run Bouncy Castle for twenty-five years. His library quietly underpins most of the JVM ecosystem. Java, Kotlin, FIPS-140 in JVM-land, and the long tail of enterprise crypto — on the menu with the maintainer who wrote it.
Matt is President of the OpenSSL Foundation and has shipped much of the TLS 1.3 implementation the world now runs. His table is for a conversation about stewardship, governance, and what it takes to keep civic infrastructure alive across decades. The long-view room, for the long-view conversation.
