Topic: How to Succeed or Fail in Cryptography
Cryptography is hard to do, with many failed examples. Learn from the failures and succeed against the odds. This talk will explain, with examples, common cryptographic pitfalls, solutions, and mitigation strategies. Best practices in policies, procedures, and technology will be discussed. Questions and feedback from the audience are encouraged. If time permits, audience participation will be solicited for experiences in both good and bad cryptography.
Key points:
* Good cryptography is now easy, but bad cryptography is easier.
* Good cryptography is in the details.
* Bad cryptography is often indistinguishable from good.
