About Cipher Cebu ​Cryptography is more than secret codes — it’s the foundation of secure communication, digital trust, and the next wave of programmable technology. Cipher Cebu is a 4-hour workshop that will guide you through the essentials of modern cryptography, from prime numbers and modular math, to cutting-edge systems like zero-knowledge proofs and multiparty computation. ​This workshop is an invitation for Cebu’s technologists, developers, and researchers to explore how cryptography is shaping the future of the internet, privacy, and secure collaboration. By understanding the math and mechanisms behind it, you’ll be better equipped to contribute to breakthroughs in programmable cryptography — an area rapidly transforming blockchain, identity, and digital systems worldwide. ​What You’ll Learn ​Math Foundations: primes, modular arithmetic, Fermat’s theorem ​Core Cryptography: symmetric & asymmetric encryption, hashing, digital signatures ​Elliptic Curves: the math powering blockchain security ​Zero-Knowledge Proofs: zk-SNARKs, zk-STARKs, and their real-world applications ​Secure Computation: what multiparty computation and indistinguishability obfuscation does for systems ​Why Join ​By the end of Cipher Cebu, you’ll: ​Understand the cryptographic primitives behind secure systems ​Discover how ZK and MPC are pushing the frontier of programmable cryptography ​Join a growing movement of global technologists contributing to breakthroughs that move the space ​In Partnership with: PizzaPy ​This workshop is made possible with PizzaPy, one of Cebu’s most active and passionate developer communities. More than just a Python user group, PizzaPy has grown into a hub where technologists of all backgrounds come together to learn, share, and build. From regular meetups to hands-on coding sessions (and yes, plenty of pizza), they’ve fostered a culture that empowers local developers, nurtures new talent, and keeps Cebu at the forefront of tech innovation. UP Computer Science Guild (UP CSG) The student-run tech hub of UP Cebu, UP CSG is more than just an org — it’s a community where future engineers come together to push boundaries in computing. From hackathons and coding bootcamps to collaborative research and peer learning, CSG nurtures curiosity, builds collaboration, and sparks innovation. Their involvement in Cipher Cebu reflects their commitment to preparing students to engage with cutting-edge fields like blockchain, cryptography, and decentralized systems. ​OpenxAI OpenxAI is creating a permissionless AI ecosystem that challenges today’s closed, centralized models. By decentralizing access to compute and tooling, OpenxAI makes it possible for developers, educators, and communities to build AI that’s open, censorship-resistant, and community-driven. Their support for Cipher Cebu aligns perfectly with the mission of empowering learners to explore advanced technologies — ensuring the next wave of innovation is accessible to all. ​⚡ Whether you’re a student, researcher, or a seasoned builder, Cipher Cebu is your entry point into the world of programmable cryptography and the breakthroughs redefining our digital future. ​👉 Seats are limited — register now and be part of Cebu’s wave of cryptography enthusiasts.
