Application-Layer Encryption Basics for Developers

Application-layer encryption should be a tool in every developer's toolbox. In this talk, I cover the basics of encryption, what are application-layer and infrastructure-layer encryption, when to use asymmetric and symmetric keys, and how to do key management. Finally, we review a complete code example for simple encryption and key management. This talk can be a jumping-off point for developers looking to add encryption to their systems, and for my previous QCon talk and material that teach encryption for developers.
