How to Use Java Cryptography API Securely

Mansi Sheth, Security Researcher, Veracode Inc

Are you overwhelmed by the overabundance of choices provided by the Java Cryptography API when choosing an encryption algorithm? Are you on top of all the latest happenings in cryptographic communities and know which cryptographic primitives can be broken and how? Due to time constraints, do you find yourself copy/pasting from the internet, hoping and praying that it’s secured? If any of your answers are “yes,” come to this session. It goes over all cryptographic primitive: RNGs, encryption/decryption algorithms, HMACs, and so on. The presentation points out areas that require careful attention, helps you make correct algorithmic and keying material choices, and provides plenty of code examples showing correct and incorrect usages.

Thanks for excellent talk. The content is crisp and just nice, provided which is required for most of the Java crypto developers. These are the building blocks of cryptographic projects. No problem with accent.

Thank you for giving this talk. It is clear, practical, gives the benefit of a lot of research, and doesn't waste our time.
Others viewers said they had difficulty with the accent, but I didn't find it to be much of a problem. I appreciate that the talk was given in English!
