A Conceptual Introduction to Cryptography - Scott Sanderson

Boston Python Presentation Night 11 December 2023 "A Conceptual Introduction to Cryptography" Scott Sanderson Talk materials: https://github.com/ssanderson/intro-t... Every time we use computers, we use cryptography. We use TLS to protect our communications, we use hashed passwords and SSH keys to authenticate ourselves, and we use protocols like OAuth and SAML to share data between services. As developers, we often build or maintain systems that depend on cryptography, but cryptographic tools and libraries can be intimidating, with documentation that presents a wall of inscrutable acronyms alongside dire warnings about the consequences of incorrect choices. This talk will provide an overview of cryptographic concepts that developers are likely to encounter in their daily work. Our focus will be on building a high-level understanding of how to think about cryptography. We'll discuss the guarantees provided by fundamental building blocks like hashes, digital signatures, and symmetric/asymmetric encryption, and we'll discuss how these components are used to create the higher-level protocols that power systems we interact with every day.
