Why Protecting Crypto Keys is More Important Than the Data They are Protecting

  Presented by nCipher

In Part 1 Mr. Beutlich talked about the history of cryptography. As Brad discussed, throughout history, the weakest link of every encryption solution (no matter how simple or complex) was exchanging and protecting the cryptographic key. In Part 2 of this series, Brad will discuss in detail why, in the 21st century, the creation and protection of a crypto key is even more important than it’s ever been. Join Brad for another lively presentation on how important it is to protect crypto keys.

What You Don’t Understand About Crypto Can Hurt You

  Presented by nCipher

For over 2000 years, governments, armies, businesses and lovers have been encrypting messages. For the same amount of time, the keys used to perform the encryption have been the weakest link in the chain. After 2000 years, technology has advanced such that the keys can be protected but many companies don’t understand how important it really is. Mr. Beutlich will explain in an entertaining (and sometimes graphic) fashion why protecting the encryption key is more important than the encryption itself.
