Oktane19: Cryptographic Wrong Answers

"The past few years cryptographic engineers have worked towards safer APIs and primitives. Today, developers have access to a set of tools that are relatively straightforward to use and unlikely to get them in trouble. Latacora likes to call these "Cryptographic Right Answers": they're the things we like to hear when a company describes how their cryptographic designs work. We're not out of the woods yet: people don't always choose those right answers, and companies are often bound by bad calls they made years ago. This talk walks through some of the common dangerous, discredited or otherwise bad ideas using popular protocols and designs as examples. By learning to recognize problematic patterns, you can make better decisions tomorrow.

Speakers: Laurens Van Houtven, Principal, Latacora
