Each year at RSAC, a cadre of celebrated cryptographers weigh in on the most important issues of the day. The Cryptographers' Panel is one of the conference's must-see events, even as RSAC embarks on its first-ever virtual event. That unusual backdrop made the experts' concerns all the more stark. Instead of a semicircle of chairs on stage at the Moscone Center, the Cryptographers' Panel was in the form of a pre-recorded video conference released on May 17, the first day of the 2021 conference. Members' faces floated in individual boxes akin to the Zoom calls so many of us have grown accustomed to during the pandemic.
