Encrypting Data in the Browser - Exploring Web Crypto APIs by Aakansha Doshi

Have you ever considered securing your app data within the browser? Let’s understand how encrypting your data in the browser enhances overall security.

In this talk Aakansha will be deep-diving into the world of Web Crypto APIs, starting from key generation, various encryption algorithms, implementation techniques, and more. The session will include live demos, coding examples, and a fun side project that she created as a result of learning about the Web Crypto APIs. Let’s set out on a collaborative learning adventure and delve into the functionalities of Web Crypto APIs.

Aakansha is passionate about Free and open-source software (FOSS) and loves deep diving into the internals of Web and Javascript. She is a core maintainer of excalidraw, react-tags, mermaid-to-excalidraw, and more. She also leads the FOSS meetups in Bangalore, India. Beyond her tech interests, she is a big foodie, loves traveling, and spending quality time with her family.

Intro was a bit weird but later on she did explain very clearly so Good job

[nikilk]

Thanks a ton for the talk. Learned a lot about web crypto. Loved it.

She explain everything so good, I watch entire video, her speech was fast though

What about API?? Let's say I'm encrypting the data at the frontend level and sending theat encypted data to the backend server in the same format. Yeah, I can restore it by decrypting while logging that data as a state of any component. But, my question is when i'll test my api's the response will come encrypted. If i decrypt that data in the get route of api then there si no use of encyption on the frontend level.

I hate when the MC or speaker asks me to jump or dance in conferences, I am not going to sleep off 😂

[antcybersec]

nice talk and easily explained everything .

[Mukesh-oqdx]

good talk but unfortunately without secure key exchange this is as good as no encryption.

[jayantaghosh]

Looks like she using same example from William Stanley

[goodvibes]

hahahahaha open source supporter using APPLE product.

She is fast coz she got only half an hour to speak on such complex topic. This is definitely not for those who are having less than 5 yrs of exp.

[srinivasa]

had to watch the video on 0.75 speed.
Gawd she speaks too fast.

[hydtechietalks]

right things you spell without clarity....all the fillers are loud and clear....need to learn from the west @DOSHI

I am a computer programming and coding trainer @pepeprogramminghub

I don't know but why encryption should be done in the browser - which is insecure by the way.
