Encryption is one of those things everyone should be doing, and no one seems to be doing it. This talk looks at hacker deployments of encryption with an emphasis on anonymity and privacy. Topics covered will include encryption of files and file systems, covert channel communication, steganography, and a special WWDKD section (What Would Dan Kaminsky Do?) that will introduce a new crypto tool. We preach about encryption, so we should be doing it ourselves! Bio: Simple Nomad is a security researcher and architect, which means he is a hacker who got a job. He speaks on security and privacy topics at conferences around the globe, as well as entertaining the press via interviews in television, print, and online mediums. In addition to being one of the most attractive hackers on the planet, he did not write his own bio. Really. Seriously. Ok...fine, I did. So sue me.
