Modern browsers, APIs, and platforms use different and more secure methods to protect data. Let's dive into how! Speaker Bio: Carl Mehner is an information security engineer who has spent the last decade working with the public key infrastructure, certificates, and secure protocols. He has also worked on standards and protocols, including the latest version of TLS and a round 1 submission to NIST's quest for a new symmetric encryption algorithm.
