Welcome to Crypto Week

What's this blog post about?

The Internet needs an upgrade, and cryptography can play a significant role in improving its security and privacy. Cryptographic hashes and digital signatures are two main tools that can be used to encode trust relationships on the Internet. This week, Cloudflare is announcing support for new technologies using cryptography to make the Internet better. These include Distributed Web Gateway, DNSSEC, RPKI, Onion Routing, and Roughtime. By strengthening the system of accountability and incorporating privacy-enhancing features, these technologies aim to create a more trustworthy and private internet without sacrificing usability.
