Lord BugBlue

Likes to troll, the governement while fighting for civil rights.

I'm equally hating all hardware and all software. There is no point in using computers these days anymore if you want some privacy. Together we made everything way too damn difficult

Not really sure if I'm on the level guru or incompetent on any subject. But that doesn't keep me from broadcasting my opinion.

Cryptography is easy, but no magic. Use it. Wisely.
Lord BugBlue

Using cryptography can give you easy assurances, keep data confidential and keep prying eyes from stuff where they should not be.

However it's not magic.
This talk is intended for programmers, users and software designers.

This talk is about hardcore mathematics while you should not have to understand what the mathematics are but what they do.

What does cryptography do: encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify.
How are certificates used in cryptogaphy and why are they totally not a magical thing.

It covers what cool hardware is available, open design and open source, hardware tokens and how to use TPM for cool features.

And last but not least: it contains best practices and warnings. After this talk you might be able to see what's snakeoil and what is real.

What have you done against covid (a personal retrospective)
Anne Jan Brouwer, Lord BugBlue

From complaining out loud about a televised government app-a-thon to being hired by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport as lead developer RoHS running a team of devs to work on all the covid backend infrastructure exception routes and making sure no person is left in digital limbo in just under an hour.
