A developer's guide to encryption


Barry Dorrans

Do you think a hash is how your girlfriend refers to the pile of clothes you leave on the bedroom floor? Is a MAC something you wear when it rains? When you hear about symmetric encryption do you believe it involves mirrors? Is asymmetric encryption something you worry may be ascetically displeasing?

In this session Barry Dorrans will take you through the basics of cryptography and attempt to demystify random number generation, hashing, symmetric and asymmetric encryptions, securing XML and using X509 certificates. The session will show you where and how you should use each cryptographic technique and will demonstrate, with thrilling code to how do it yourself.
