Tuesday May 28th, 2013:

Primary Speaker:

Bjoern Paul Richard Schwabe, Freelancer

Title:

"Encryption in the cloud"

Synopsis:

SaaS cloud models for data storage such as Dropbox and Box have been around for a long time. Zero-Knowledge SaaS did not get much attention in the media and public, even though many ToC of traditional SaaS hold sentences like these: "...In these cases,  will remove ’s encryption from the files before providing them to law enforcement.". What can we do about it ? What is the hype about MEGA's security practice? 

I have devoted my Bsc. IT Security and Computer Forensics final year project towards this issue and analysed different contestants, including MEGA's JS files and API to come up with practical solution. I would like to present my result with an one hour talk covering the areas of: an introduction to cryptography to understand the concept's cipher and the usage of them as well as the concept that will not give service providers the chance to decrypt user's data.

Secondary Speaker:

Craig Heath, Franklin Heath Ltd

Title:

"Security Lessons from Bletchley Park and Enigma"

Synopsis:

A brief review of how the Enigma machine works, how it was broken,
and how security people keep making similar mistakes today.
