Crypto training at Black Hat US 2016

blog

I’ll be in Vegas for the next Black Hat USA giving a crypto training with my coworkers Javed Samuel and Alex Balducci.

You have a nice summary on the official training page.

It’s 2 days crash course on our knowledge as crypto consultants. There will be a lot of general culture, protocols, side-channels, random numbers, … as well as deep segments and exercises on common crypto attacks.

If you’re not interested, you can still hit me up for drinks around Black Hat or Defcon, I’ll be in Vegas. Otherwise I’ll be in Santa Barbara a few week after for CRYPTO and CHES. If you’re in need of crypto conference, there is also SAC happening in Canada between Defcon and CRYPTO (I won’t be there).
