• Alexei Vesyoliy from Accenture will give a talk “E(G)TL Data-Processing Innovation Using GenAI and Python”
  Traditional ETL processes focus on extracting, transforming, and loading data—but what if we could harness the full power of GenAI along the way? In this talk, Alexei will introduce EGTL (Extract, Generate, Transfer, Load), an innovative approach that adds a “generate” step powered by GenAI. He will introduce Python-based pipelines on top of a data warehouse that can act independently, extract data, make decisions, create new structures, and conduct other tasks before loading data into downstream systems. Expect a hands-on look at a prototype application, insights from various experiments, and best practices for integrating EGTL into modern data workflows.

  Nowadays the topic about IAM (Identity and Access Management) is getting more relevant, when considering ways to secure applications, identify users. In order to to understand how does it work one must understand modern authentication and authorization. OAuth2.0 and OIDC are globally used protocols, which teach us how to implement and handle all the necessary elements in this IAM world. Quite often this is a “knowledge gap” for an average developer, so it might be valuable to understand the basics underneath.

• Atis Straujums from Zimperium will give a talk on “White-box Cryptography: Protecting Keys on Insecure Devices”.
  White-box cryptography makes it possible to use cryptography on insecure devices where attackers can observe memory at run-time and have full control over code execution. It is a software-only approach that protects the used keys from being exposed and extracted. This talk will explore how white-box cryptography works, when one would need to use it, and what solutions are available
