September 05, 2007 Using Cryptography to Improve Web Application Performance and Security 6:45 pm, Suspenders Restaurant http://www.suspendersbar.com/location.php Cryptography has a reputation of slowing down applications. However if done correctly, it can actually be used to improve performance by storing high-value/high-cost results "in public." In addition the same techniques can solve common security problems such as authorization, parameter scanning, and parameter rewriting. All are welcome -- no previous experience with cryptography is required, and the techniques will be presented in a programming-language neutral format. Nick Galbreath have been working on high performance servers and web security at various high profile startups since 1994 (most recently Right Media). He holds a Master degree of Mathematics from Boston University, and published a book on cryptography. He currently lives in the Lower East Side.
