Cooking with Cryptography by Fraser Tweedale

The ``cryptography`` library emerged in 2014 with the goal of becoming Python's "cryptographic standard library". It is designed to be easy to use but flexible, exposing a *recipes* layer for common use cases, and a *hazmat* layer that provides crypto primitives but demands users know what they're doing in order to use them properly. This talk will explain the motivations and goals of the ``cryptography`` library, take a tour of its features and discuss its implementation. ``cryptography`` will be compared to some other popular and emerging crypto libraries. Finally, we will examine some real-world use of the library. Audience members should have a passing familiarity with cryptography (e.g. know the differences between hashing and encryption, or public key and private key crypto) to get the most out of this talk. PyCon Australia is the national conference for users of the Python Programming Language. In 2015, we're heading to Brisbane to bring together students, enthusiasts, and professionals with a love of Python from around Australia, and all around the World.
