Cryptography 101: From Basics to Real-World .NET Applications

Ever wondered how your passwords stay (mostly) safe, or how websites protect sensitive data from prying eyes? In this session, we’ll demystify the core concepts of cryptography—covering symmetric and public/private encryption, hashing, and digital signatures—and show when each technique is the right tool for the job.
Through practical, real-world examples in C# and .NET, you’ll learn how to:

• Securely store passwords
• Protect URL parameters
• Encrypt sensitive information on public websites
• Exchange data safely with partners

By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how cryptography works, how to apply it effectively, and how to keep your applications—and your users—secure.
