## Description

I will go into the basics of what shared security is, how Polkadot can provide it, and what it can bring to the larger Blockchain ecosystem. I would like people to walk away from this talk having a shared understanding of a new primitive that can be useful and innovated on in the Blockchain space.

Shawn Tabrizi is one of the lead developers of Polkadot and has been developing in the Blockchain space for over 6 years. Before that he was working at Microsoft on cloud and identity systems.
