Jose Ortega - Python Security & Cryptography
[EuroPython 2015]
[22 July 2015]
[Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain]

The talk would aim to introduce cryptography and security from the
developer point of view, showing ways to encrypt information with
Python scripts and more sensitive information in web applications
using django.

I will introduce to security in python ,showing some libraries that
allow encryption and decryption like PyCrypto or M2Crypto,comparing
theses libraries with the cryptography module.At the same time,I will
show the main ciphers and hashing  algorithms used in these libraries
like AES,DES,RSA and some examples illustrating each case.I wil show
other techniques like steganography for hiding information in
files(images,documents,programs) with some libraries like Stepic or
ezPyCrypto.

Finally,I will comment OWASP Python Security Project where we can find
some useful practices
and secure coding guidelines for detecting  potential security
vulnerabilities  in our applications like SQL injection or Cross-site
scripting.
