-Note that this is a practical session - EVERYONE is welcome.
+''Talk: Encryption and Digital Certificates – A Guide for Software Developers''
-In each challenge, participants will be presented with a series of vulnerable code snippets and will be required to identify the problem, locate the insecure code, and fix the vulnerability. Select from various software languages to complete the tournament, including: Java EE, Java Spring, C# MVC, C# WebForms, Ruby on Rails, Python Django & Node.Js.
+''Abstract'': This presentation is a tutorial covering the basics of these important technologies but rapidly moving into practical use cases and some more in-depth information to assist troubleshooting. It also includes a case study entitled “Building your own Certifying Authority” that highlights some practical techniques for secure development.
-Watch as you climb to the top of the leaderboard and be crowned a 'Secure Code Warrior.'  Prizes will be provided to the top three warriors. Please ensure you come with your laptop fully charged, there will be some charging facilities but it would be better for you to arrive prepared.
