      \item Our goal was to {\bf shore up the security} aspects of MISP and Cerebrate
      \item Build new functionalities and tools to allow users to {\bf protect their data}
  \end{itemize}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Cryptographic signing and tamper protection}
  \begin{itemize}
     \item Need to be able to share and ensure the {\bf veracity of critical events}
     \item Tampering by {\bf malicious intermediaries}, even in closed networks became a new fear
     \item We came up with a solution that allows us to {\bf lock down critical events}
     \item Limits the distribution, but {\bf increases the resilience} of MISP immensely
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}
