Saturday, July 19, 2014: 3:00 pm (Olson): This talk will provide an outline of the pitfalls, dangers, benefits, and progress when it comes to doing encryption in JavaScript in the browser. Nadim Kobeissi has been working on this problem for the past three years in collaboration with Mozilla, Google, and the W3C. The solution is still far away, but there have been many interesting (and, most importantly, educational) challenges that have been faced. After giving an overview of how browser cryptography has advanced in the past year, Nadim will reveal a new open source encryption software project during the talk.
