Workshop: Applied Cryptography for Embedded Engineers - No fear about cryptography

Presented at DeepSec 2019 „Internet of Facts and Fears“, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

Cryptography is not your enemy it is a real problem solver. Some modern industrial standards like the IEC-62443 are defining requirements which are among others solvable with cryptography - if you have the right tools. We will take a journey from the basics of cryptography to the real-world-use cases including cloud or IT connections. And what about cryptography and industrial real-time-applications? We will not only answer the question of what secure elements and embedded HSMs are, but also discuss the benefits of using them. You will learn about the different algorithm and technologies in conjunction with example use-cases to focus on best practices and avoid major mistakes. We will also oversee the risks and attacks to consider when using this technology. Our objective is not to discuss the mathematics, but we want to give you the skill set to ask the right questions when starting a design and discuss about future requirements and define target you would like to protect.
