If you are looking for an archive of past Fireside Friday webcast events, they can be found over here.
We all have gaps in our security knowledge. Fireside Fridays will be an opportunity to fill in those gaps. Each Friday we will pick a topic and go over the basics. These sessions will be a combination of lecture and hands on labs. We’ll cover a single topic and hopefully fill in some of those cracks. Think of it as a single focused “ask us anything” session. No judgment on the questions that get asked, just a chance to raise the bar for all of us.
In this webcast, we will start discussing the components that make up a VPN. We’ll talk about symmetric encryption, hashing, and Hash based Message Authentication Code (HMAC). We will also do a lab that shows the challenges you encounter when there are collisions in the hash space.
