A look back (in video format) at the tenth edition of the Afnic Scientific Council Open Day
Held online on 31 August 2021, the tenth edition of the Afnic Scientific Council Open Day brought together some one hundred participants to discuss the theme “Supervise me if you can! Protect me if I want! The challenge of generalised encryption”.
The open day provided an opportunity for participants to discover the ongoing research work and projects for emerging security protocols which are, and will continue to be, at the core of our digital uses, and also to reflect on their impact on Internet infrastructures and the digital ecosystem.

The registry has been appointed by the French government to manage domain names under the .fr Top Level Domain. Afnic also manages the .re (Reunion Island), .pm (Saint-Pierre and Miquelon), .tf (French Southern and Antarctic Territories), .wf (Wallis and Futuna) and .yt (Mayotte) French Overseas TLDs.
