MacTechGroup Has a Speaker Wednesday!

[Owen Hartnett]

MacTechGroup

The MacTechGroup holds meetings for Macintosh programmers on the first Wednesday of each month electronically

Next Meeting:
Zoom on-line: https://zoom.us/j/94493122993?pwd=a2lpOHhZMHhTR1RQOHFuTk01UjlNZz09 <>
Since a room at MIT will not be available for quite some time, the MacTechGroup has gone virtual.

We've got a presentation this month from Rob Napier about securing your applications. Anyone who writes code will find this useful. This is an outstanding presentation and well worth your time. Please make an effort to support presentations here with your presence.

Secrets and Lies

“Security though obscurity is no security.” Well… sort of. The truth is much more complicated. Obfuscation is difficult, fragile, and a never ending battle. But sometimes it’s the only tool for the job, whether to protect a secret key or the integrity of your high-score list. In this session you’ll learn what attacks your app is already facing (whether you know it or not), the differences between cryptography, obfuscation, and steganography, and approachable ways you can use them to protect your users, your service, and your business.

Rob Napier

Rob is co-author of iOS Programming Pushing the Limits, and maintainer of the RNCryptor encryption format. Before coming to Cocoa, he made his living sneaking into Chinese facilities in broad daylight. Today, he shapes music over Bluetooth for Logitech, explores old ideas in new languages, and tries to figure out how all of this applies to Swift.

The first half hour to hour, we have an open discussion session and "Bring out your code." For "Bring Out Your Code" session, members can bring in intractable bugs, and we'll help debug them as a group. We don't guarantee success, but our track record is very good. Our final hour is for the presentation. No dues, no fees, no costs.

Owen Hartnett is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
