 Protect your private keys with inexpensive crypto devices by Marlon
Dutra

 Hardware security modules (HSM) have existed for a long time, however
they are still considered black boxes to many sysadmins all over the
world. Although large HSMs can be very expensive for small setups,
there's an array of small and cheaper crypto devices that are suitable
for smaller organizations. Those devices can be used for many
purposes, like user authentication, certificate authorities, VPNs,
signing, encryption, etc, dramatically increasing the security of
private keys.

 During this talk, you'll learn several interesting examples about how
to use $50 crypto devices for normal sysadmin operations, focusing on
well known tools like OpenSSH and OpenSSL. The entire talk and
examples will be around open source software.

 Marlon has over 22 years of experience in distributed systems, with a
strong background in infrastructure, Linux systems, network and
security. Marlon has worked for Facebook since 2012, where he is a
Production Engineer and serves as a technical leader for the
production engineering security team.

 Plus we'll have our regular features: Jobs Looking for People, People
Looking for Jobs, and much more! We'll also be meeting for dinner at
the Buddy's Pizza in Novi (44225 W 12 Mile Road, Novi, MI 48377) after
the meeting.
