Work in Progress: Implementing PEP 458 to Secure PyPI downloads
Kairo de Araujo, Lukas Pühringer

PEP 458 uses cryptographic signing on PyPI to protect Python packages against attackers. In this talk we will share our lessons learned from the ongoing implementation work in PyPI/Warehouse with the Python community. How does PEP 458 work and what is TUF? What protection can it offer now and what does it enable in the future? And how am I affected as a Python developer and as a user?
