Crypto on Rails presentation

I gave a talk last night at Copenhagen.rb about EzCrypto. The meeting was great and very informative with Ruby celebs like DHH and David Black present.

My talk Hide your (users) tracks was I think pretty well received. There were many great questions afterwards.

The gist of the presentation is:

  • As an Application service provider YOU are one of the biggest threats to your users. I’ve written more indepth about this in Trust points and Breach points in Web Apps
  • Basic usage of EzCrypto
  • Basic usage of ActiveCrypto

EzCrypto has really been developing quite a lot over the summer. If you haven’t looked at it for a while take a look. It now includes support for Digital Signatures and Certificates.

The new iPod games are very cool

I am quite enjoying the new iTunes 7 and the new iPod games. I’ve bought Texas Holdem and Mahjong.

Both are pretty good, but in particular the Texas Holdem game is cool. I’ve never played it on a desktop before so I’m comparing it against a Java version I have on my phone. I haven’t explored it yet, but I’m wondering if there is a way to keep listening to your own music while playing it.
