Java Cryptography for Beginners

A Comprehensive Survey of Cryptography for the Java Developer

LOCATION: Bern
KEYWORDS: Concept, Methods, Technology

AGENDA:Start: 17:15
Break: 18:10 - 18:20
End: 19:15
Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment.

SPEAKER: Jeff Lawson   COMPANY: Cogent Logic Ltd

A working knowledge of cryptography ought to be part of the skill-set of all professional software developers, just like database access and networking. Many developers, however, regard security as an administrative function or something to be bolted onto version three of a product, if there's time and if we can figure out how to do it!

In the Java Cryptography for Beginners presentation, the following topics will be explained along with sample Java code:
  • Symmetric encryption/decryption: AES/CBC/PKCS7
  • Java Cryptography Architecture, Java Cryptography Extension and service providers
  • Import/export laws: unlimited strength jurisdiction policy files
  • Asymmetric encryption / decryption: RSA/OAEP
  • Hash functions / digests: SHA-2
  • Digital signatures: SHA-2/RSA
  • Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD): EAX cipher mode
  • Digital certificates: X.509 public-key certificates
  • Secure key storage: Java keystores and truststores
  • Certificate authorities and PKI: Java Certification Path API
  • Attribute certificates, attribute authorities and PMI: PRBAC overview
  • Encrypted communication channels, including client and server authentication: JSSE / TLS 1.2; key managers and trust managers
  • Certificate revocation lists and white lists: JNDI/LDAP
  • Network log-in-authentication and authorization: JAAS
