.NET 7 was finally released! The platform’s performance has improved significantly following the update; LINQ sorting functionality became faster, and new methods have positively impacted overall performance. During this presentation, we look more closely at these improvements and how they were implemented.  

Cryptography is essential in providing data security and secure communication. During this presentation, we will examine cryptographic practices from the point of view of a .NET developer. This talk will cover foundational concepts, such as hashing, encryption, and digital signatures, and gradually move toward higher-level concepts. Here, we’ll dive into the potential problems of securing passwords and examine the potential of JSON Web Tokens. We will also discuss the benefits of secret data storage within cloud infrastructures, such as Azure Key Vault.  

No meetup is complete without a closing discussion!  Let’s eat, drink, make connections, and discuss what we’ve learned from our speakers!
