Salon V: Autonomous Realities - 2024 Protocol Symposium

This is an opening segment from the 2024 Protocol Symposium's Salon V on Autonomous Realities. The moderators engage in informal conversation while waiting for presenters, touching on topics like weather as social lubricant, AI-generated imagery (early DALL-E), and the role of small talk as a social signal.

Salon II: ARC Regenerative Communities - 2024 Protocol Symposium

Kalia Young and Day present research on the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a regenerative standards development organization, examining how its protocols and social structures enable long-term innovation and maintenance of the internet as digital public infrastructure. They argue that the IETF's decentralized, generative approach to protocol creation represents a model for pro-social technical communities seeking to build and sustain digital commons.

Designing Trust Protocols, Society, and Web 3.0 - Helena Rong

Helena Rong, assistant professor at NYU Shanghai, introduces a new course on trust experience design that examines how trust protocols function in autonomous systems and the agentic web. She frames trust as a foundational mechanism in everyday interactions (like crossing the street) and proposes a framework for designing speculative trust protocols for decentralized AI and blockchain systems.

Salon I: End-to-End Encryption in ActivityPub - 2024 Protocol Symposium

Evan and Tom present their research on implementing end-to-end encryption within ActivityPub, the W3C-standardized federated social network protocol. They outline their methodology covering user stories, design research, potential architectures, UI guidelines for federated contexts, and next steps for adding cryptographic privacy to ActivityPub's push-based, JSON-based message infrastructure.
