I'm the one that often yaps about threat modeling and musicals, sometimes combined in the same talk. You might have seen my previous talks at WICCON, HackerHotel or PancakesCon. I move in social circles where consent negotiations for interpersonal connections are a common, even between long-time partners, some of the lessons I've learned there I want to share with the hacker community.
Because mortgages need to be paid and theatre tickets don't buy themselves I have a day job as security consultant doing DevSecOps, threat modeling, and GRC things. Which means as much as that I read and write slidedecks, click on links in e-mails, and happily take on the role of corporate jester for money. At WHY2025 I'm the lead of Team:Cohesion and heavily involved with all things Code of Conduct and consent. You can also find me in the WICCA&WICCON orga.

Let's talk to people about negotiating consent before engaging in personal and physical interactions. Your browser does it with every web server, so why shouldn't you do the same with people? This sounds harder than it actually is. Using the HTTP protocol as a guide this I will talk you through how you could negotiate consent to engage with someone on a variety of levels: From 'GET Hug' all the way to 200 OK, but also how to deal with a 404 Consent not found response.
