Interested in Crypto and living in Chicago?

Next week on wednesday NCC Group will host its second open forum in Chicago. And I’ll be one of the speaker!

If you are interested in crypto, I’ll be talking about backdoors and Diffie-Hellman. This will be the occasion of explaining what my latest whitepaper that was released today is about.

John Downey will also be talking about “Cryptography Pitfalls”.

By the way, if you’re interested in such events in Chicago. OWASP was today (and we even learned how to brew beer there). There are also other security related events that you can get update on from this twitter.
