Things every dev should know about Cryptography

STOP! I know the talk title says Cryptography! I know that means you think this will be a confusing, inflated talk about maths and cryptography - but I promise - as a dev myself - I will use pictures and simplify the complexity of cryptography. You should trust me. I'll keep it simple :) Have you ever been curious about: * Why we have symmetric and asymmetric encryption? * What a certificate is? * What is an IV, Diffie-hellman, GCM, ECB, RSA, ECC? * How to be ready for a quantum world? Or maybe you're just interested in a talk that tries to make cryptography more accessible. We'll have some fun and learn something along the way.
