Needs More Salt... Why You Should Care About Libsodium

What happens when these systems are compromised? Can crackers access your "encrypted" data? Can they access your "hashed" passwords? This talk discusses proper hashing mechanisms for passwords, libsodium, and encryption and how it relates to our PHP applications and systems.
