What this post added

This post announces 'Crypto Week 2019', a series of daily announcements of new projects and services using modern cryptography to build a more secure, trustworthy Internet. It highlights the ongoing challenges in securing Internet protocols like BGP and DNS, and introduces several new initiatives: The League of Entropy, Securing Certificate Issuance using Multipath Domain Control Validation, Cloudflare's Ethereum Gateway, an improved IPFS Gateway, research into the Quantum Menace and Post-Quantum Cryptography in TLS, and the introduction of CIRCL (an advanced cryptographic library) and time.cloudflare.com (for secure time synchronization). The post emphasizes the need for principled commitment to upgrading the Internet's fundamental protocols and discusses the security implications of BGP hijacking and the role of RPKI and DNSSEC in mitigating these risks.
