Cryptography is a complex and confusing subject. There seems to be more disinformation than actual information. Learn how to properly use cryptography to secure user credentials and consumer data. We will discuss cryptographic methodologies and algorithms available to PHP. The main focus will focus be on encryption with RSA and AES and hashing with SHA and the PHP Password Hashing extension. We will discuss other methodologies as part of a compare and contrast based on cryptography strength and randomness.

I really enjoyed this talk, and was happy to see that it validated a lot of the things a former colleague and I decided to do (and NOT to do) in a previous project. Would have loved to see it delve a bit into more technical implementation details of the various algorithms, but that's probably beyond the scope of this talk.
