RWC was created to be "like Crypto [the annual conference in Santa Barbara] but with talks on practically relevant things". RWC is now bigger than Crypto, as far as I can tell (Zurich had 600+ participants). It doesn't have formal proceedings but it does get input from MSR, google, amazon, facebook ...<p>Highlights for me: MSR has implemented post-quantum stuff (and it works), Spectre/Meltdown of course, google's TLS team talking about trying to test TLS 1.3 and everything that broke as a result, mozilla using F* to verify their crypto/TLS libraries and learning that "encrypted" aircraft (ACARS) communications use a monoalphabetic cipher with one of around a dozen hard-coded keys.
