Good talk about crypto by Colin Percival. The talk is slightly less than 2 hours long (but that could be due to questions at the end – I don’t know, I am only 50 mins into it so far).

A good talk. With a lot of humor in between. Only reason I decided to watch this video is because I follow Colin’s blog (or rather I try to follow – there’s a lot of crypto stuff in there that goes over my head). He was the FreeBSD Security officer when I was into FreeBSD and that’s how I started following his blog and became aware of him. Am glad I am watching it though, it clarifies a lot of things I was vaguely aware of without going into too much details. I don’t think I’ll ever be doing programming that involves crypto, but it’s good to know and is an area of interest.
