Security

At Hacker Hotel, I gave an introduction talk on cryptography.

From the program:

What is this DES and why is it bad? Should I always use AES-256, bigger is better right? Who are these RSA-dudes in the first place and why do I need 25519 elliptic curves in my life? Is quantum really that bad for encryption and what can I do about it? If these are questions keeping you up at 05:00, then this talk might be for you!
