Playlists: '36c3' videos starting here / audio

Delta Chat is an e-mail instant messenger that is just becoming available on all platforms.
Unlike other offerings, Delta Chat is no platform and operates no own servers.
Instead it uses existing SMTP/IMAP servers to send and receive messages.
We'll talk about the current development status on all platforms, our new
Rust-core based approach, our decentralized e2e-encryption facilities (not requiring
keyservers, and safe against active attacks) and how we are generally driving
developments from UX and security perspectives. We also aim to showcase
"burner accounts", a new concept that we are developing and discussing
with activists in eastern european countries and asian cities.
