Global Encryption Day Summit 2026: Five Key Conversations on the Future of Digital Trust

From mapping tools and VPNs to encrypted messaging and the challenges posed by quantum computing, the Global Encryption Day Summit 2026 brought together experts and advocates from around the world to discuss why protecting encryption is essential to protecting people.

What Global Data Tells Us About the Economics of IXPs

Every day, more than 80,000 independent networks exchange traffic to keep the Internet running. They largely do this in one of two ways: by paying for IP transit to reach the rest of the Internet, or by peering directly with one another, often through an Internet exchange point (IXP).

We Shouldn’t Have to Give Up Our Safety Online to Be Safe

People should not have to choose between being safe from crime and being safe online. We deserve both. Yet proposals to weaken encryption risk creating exactly that trade-off.
