BlackHat Europe 2012 Day #3 Wrap-Up
And this is already the last day! My first choice for today was the talk of Andrey Belenko and Dmitry Sklyarov: “Secure Password Managers” and “Military-Grade Encryption” on Smartphones: Oh Really?. They presented their research about the security of keyword managers on smartphones. It’s recommended to not use the same password
BlackHat Europe 2012 Day #2 Wrap-Up
And I’m back with my wrap-up for the second day. Here are a review of the talks I followed today.

RSA Conference Europe 2011 Wrap-Up

23:10… Still Working? No, I’m a volunteer!
Monday 23:10… Back from holidays, it was my first day back at work. My day job is over but I’m still online in my dark room with only the noise of some fans, the light of my laptops / monitors and the typical keyboard “clicks”… My wife comes in: “Hey,
Hack in Paris 2011 Wrap-Up
Yesterday, I went to Disneyland Paris! Not for a family trip but to attend a security conference. Great place isn’t it? Everybody knows the Disney park but the nearby hotels propose facilities to organize events. That’s what did Sysdream, the organizer of Hack in Paris 2011. I left home very
