Big if true. If this is real, is it the first confirmed malicious use of realtime interactive video deepfake?

No because they also called Vienna and Madrid ;) Apparently the Vienna Mayor didn't notice a thing and even sent out a tweet afterwards. The other two at least got suspicious when the supposed Klitschko asked them weird questions.

Private key authentication, anyone?

What is the key tied to, the person, the organization, or the device? Where do you obtain the public key? Which certificate authorities will you trust to verify the identify of public figures? Will any of this work under wartime conditions when people are moving around, using random webcams and mobile devices?

But was it a deepfake or not? This is unprecedented if it was.
