Web Design and Development, 1998

This page contains links to two presentations that I gave at the Web Design and Development conference in San Francisco, June 1998. The files are Microsoft PowerPoint format, and are distributed in ZIP'd form. If you don't have PowerPoint, you can read them using Microsoft's PowerPoint reader and/or ActiveX control, both available for downloading at http://www.microsoft.com/.

Cryptography is an introduction to public key cryptography as used on the World Wide Web. It covers the basics of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, shows how digital signatures, digital envelopes and secure hashes work, and walks through the process of applying for and installing a server certificate.

EMoney builds on the first presentation by showing how cryptography is used to provide the foundation for secure electronic commerce. It goes on to discuss the various options currently available for accepting payment over the Web.
