Cryptography with ZF2 at ZendCon 2012
Posted: October 25th, 2012 | Author: enrico | Filed under: Conference, Cryptography, PHP, Zend Framework | Tags: Cryptography, zendcon, zf2 | 1 Comment »Yesterday I did the presentation about cryptography using Zend Framework 2 at ZendCon 2012. I presented the Zend\Crypt component and some use cases to store a user’s password in a secure way (using bcrypt), how to encrypt sensitive data using the BlockCipher component (encryption + authentication), how to use public key cryptography (using the RSA algorithm) and so on.
I received many good questions from the audience and the interest about the cryptography topics seems to grow in the PHP community. I think this is a good signal for the community because as PHP developers we need to use the best practices of cryptography in order to protect our application. Even the new password hashing API of the next PHP 5.5 is a good news for PHP folks.
If you are interested in cryptography and security in PHP maybe you would like to read a book about that. I started to write a book about that and I love to know if you are interested to read it. Click here and let me know.
This is a fantastic signal for the team because as PHP developers need to use the best techniques of cryptography to be able to protected our application.
