Cryptography 101 for Java developers by Michel Schudel

So you're logging in to your favorite crypto currency exchange over https using a username and password, executing some transactions, and you're not at all surprised that, security wise, everything's hunky dory... In order to appreciate and understand what goes on under the hood, as a developer, it's really important to dive into the key concepts of cryptography . In this session, we'll go back to JCA (Java Cryptography API) en JCE (Java Cryptography Extensions) basics, like message digests, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and digital signatures, and see how they're used in a variety of examples like https and certificates, salted password checking, and block chain technology. After this session, you'll have a better understanding of Java Cryptography APIs and their applications.
