Useful Cryptography: An Introduction

Discover practical cryptography techniques for securing your software! This session with Randall Degges dives into essential cryptographic primitives and their real-world application in development.

You'll gain a solid understanding of:

• Hashing: Learn how to use hashing algorithms for data integrity and security.
• HMACs (Hash-based Message Authentication Codes): Understand how to authenticate messages and ensure data hasn't been tampered with.
• Encryption: Explore various encryption methods to protect sensitive data.
• TLS (Transport Layer Security): Master secure communication protocols for web applications and APIs.

This talk provides a foundational knowledge of cryptographic principles and equips you with the ability to leverage different algorithms to build more secure applications. Learn about potential pitfalls and best practices to avoid common security vulnerabilities during implementation. Build robust and trustworthy applications with practical security insights.
