Is it worth, waiting for their colleagues to arrive at the department or should they not waste any more time? Current solutions mostly are proprietary and those few that support messaging are trying to reinvent the wheel. Using the power of matrix's application service API, Alertrix aims to provide a solution to this problem. matrixconf2024-52202-using-matrix-to-coordinate-emergency-services Matrix in Practice Fabian Becker en If an emergenc arises, every second counts. For voluntary first responders this means, they need to decide if it is worth to wait for more colleagues to arrive at the department, or to finally get at least some help to those in need. More and more fire departments in germany are looking for applications, that provide a bidirectional communication channel in addition to the one-way TETRA alerts to answer the question of how long it takes for each of them to arrive at the department. Using the application service API, Alertrix aims to extend matrix with this functionality and provide emergency services with a full communication platform for secure emergency communication and feature-rich every-day training coordination.

Recently, FITKO and the German Federal Ministry of the Interior joined efforts to pilot a [Matrix-based next-generation communication infrastructure for digital government services](https://gitlab.opencode.de/fitko/g2x-matrix-pilot). The aim of the pilot is to showcase end-to-end encryption, great usability and machine-readable communication between citizens and public authorities.

The protocol integrates well with the modern web ecosystem and provides end-to-end security, with no single points of control or failure. Beyond instant messaging, Matrix [aims to be](https://matrix.org/docs/older/faq/) a generic messaging and data synchronization system for the whole web, built for securely transmitting and replicating JSON data between Matrix-capable clients, servers and services. Its openness and adaptability is what makes Matrix particularly interesting for government organizations. Last year, the [Architecture Board of the German IT Planning Council](https://www.fitko.de/foederale-koordination/gremienarbeit/foederales-it-architekturboard) launched a project to evaluate Matrix as a foundation for government-to-citizen (G2C) and government-to-business (G2B) communications.

In this talk, we’ll explain the process that has gone into reworking encryption in both Element X and Matrix as a whole to make it seamless and invisible to users, while further improving security. matrixconf2024-52758-invisible-cryptography Valère Fédronic en Encryption should be invisible to users: for instance, WhatsApp and Signal almost entirely hide encryption-specific details in their apps. Element has historically failed at this, both because Matrix’s APIs encourage exposing complicated UX, combined with development being historically too bottom-up from the APIs. As part of designing Element X, the encryption experience has been completely rethought: - All devices must be signed by their owner by default (and unsigned devices should be excommunicated!) - Device signing should be invisible and happen automatically at login. - Users should (eventually) be “trust on first use” by default - Users, messages, and rooms should never expose confusing “shields” to warn about encryption details - messages should either be visible and secure, or hidden outright. - We’ve defined consistent, user-centric terminology throughout all of Matrix when discussing encryption.

Acter is a non-profit who together with global coalition including Amnesty, Greenpeace, Civicus and ActionAid are reimaging digital organizing, providing a mobile-first organzing app based on Matrix, focusing on secure effective organzing. This session will highlight the problems that civil society is facing with the lack of critical digital infrastructure, why we need to move beyond chat as the only means for effecgive organzing as well a proposed solutions and insights from civil society movements. matrixconf2024-52470-empowering-activists-and-human-rights-defenders-with-matrix Matrix In The Wild Emil en Context: Civic space on a downward spiral. In a world grappling with authoritarianism, climate crises, and violent conflicts, digital tools have emerged as vital infrastructure for civil society organizations. These tools empower movements to resist oppression and advocate for systemic change, addressing root causes. However, there is a glaring gap in providing frontline activists with the necessary digital infrastructure. Authoritarian regimes are refining their tactics and leveraging technology to suppress dissent, leaving only 2% of the global population in fully free countries. As civic space shrinks, investing in robust digital infrastructure is crucial to enhance organizing capacity, foster effective coalitions, and protect activists on the ground. Problem: The Failure of Current Tools for Civil Society Despite the rapid growth of digital tools and services, few are tailored to the unique challenges faced by civil society movements. Traditional venture capital often prioritizes high returns, sidelining activists and grassroots movements lacking financial clout. Consequently, existing tools fall short in supporting the required level of organizing and ensuring the safety of at-risk activists. This infrastructure gap forces civil society organizations to rely on platforms ill-suited for their needs. Why This Session Matters Join us to explore how the Matrix Protocol can empower civil society movements and activists on the frontlines of democracy, human rights, and environmental protection. This session will highlight the critical digital infrastructure gaps facing civil society, explain why chat alone is insufficient for impactful organizing, and unveil innovative solutions with real-world insights from global movements.

It will solve most of the shortcomings of the current call system like: large encrypted group calls, ringing based on fundamental matrix primitives, resolving if two ppl call each other at the same time, reliable call connection setup, and extensibility. But it is also a bit more.

The OIDC-native project aims to replace the current APIs with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. It brings a more secure foundation for clients to authenticate, whilst making it more flexible for homeservers to implement any authentication mechanism, without having to worry about client compatibility or poor user experience. This transition is backed by a project called Matrix Authentication Service, which rewrites the authentication logic in Synapse from the ground up.

Its federation architecture is exemplary in supporting open standards, privacy protection, user choice and other aspects of system operations. Its digital identity system however is not fully decentralised and is a significant weakness in the overall user experience, authenticity and privacy protection. In this talk, Wenjing will share with the Matrix community an initiative to bring decentralised identity to Matrix and discuss both technical and user facing advantages of doing so.

Without strongly secure identity, E2EE, for instance, can be seriously weakened in its intended privacy goals.
