It is widely used to manipulate keys and certificates for servers and clients and there are a lot of tutorials on how to use it from the command line. This presentation attempts to go deeper into OpenSSL`s library and give an overview of its API. It will show how to programmatically calculate one-way hashes, perform symmetric and asymmetric encryption and create and verify message authentication codes and digital signatures. The concrete examples will include DES and AES ciphers, RSA and DSA encryption and decryption, Diffie-Hellman key exchange and a simple SSL-enabled application. Some particular algorithms can also be described in more details along with their mathematical properties if time permits but the presentation will be mostly example-driven. Ivan Ivanov is a software developer currently based in New York. His interest in cryptography comes from his mathematical education. In his professional work he has developed encryption and decryption routines for protecting data transmission over the network. September 1st meeting will be Bruno Scap on "Building Email Infrastructure." * * * * * * NYCBSDCon Organizing Meeting Monday, August 23, Suspenders at 111 Broadway We'll be holding another organizing meeting for the November conference. Agenda includes the following: CFP submissions, sponsors and registration We encourage all interested in taking part to attend and join the NYCBSDCon mailing list at http://lists.nycbug.org We are proud that the organizing for our conference is way beyond a handful of individuals. About a dozen people showed up at the last meeting, and we decided on a number of issues, including the schedule, organizing the 'birds of a feather' sessions, publicity, etc. Nothing makes a better conference than having a strong fraction of the attendees involved in the actual organizing. If you have any questions, contact info at nycbsdcon dot org. * * * * * * The BSD Certification Group is holding a Board of Directors election. The neutral election organizer is James Lane. Here's his announcement: "The nominees for the two open one-year positions on the BSDCert Board of Directors are: Jim Brown Michael Dexter Dru Lavigne Phil Nelson According to the Bylaws, the next step in the process is an open discussion of the election and the nominees by the general membership. This discussion will open as of Monday, August 2, 2010, and will remain open for two weeks. The last day of the discussion will be Monday, August 23. Each of the nominees is invited to post information about their general background, their involvement with BSD and with BSDCert, and what they would like the BSDCert group to accomplish over the next year. The next step in the election process is the election itself." Also, note that we'll be holding two BSDA certification exams at NYCBSDCon on November 13th and 14th, probably during the lunch sessions.
