The number of shipped mobile devices today is stunning. Companies are aware of this trend as the Accenture did a mobility survey shows that 79% of the interviewed CIO’s believed that they need to invest in their mobile strategy because it will provide a significant source of new revenue. Today creating mobile apps requires a lot of programming. XForms can help you to dramatically reduce your time to market, creating rich mobile apps that fully function when the device is unable to connect to the internet.

Many operations you like to perform on the web like authentication, sending secure messages and the signing of documents require cryptographic operations. W3C started an effort to standardise a secure API for performing these operations on the web. This work resulted in a Javascript Web Cryptography API which will be implemented by all major browsers soon, but is also applicable in other environments.
This talk will start by quickly explaining why a native Cryptography API is required, followed by an introduction to the Web Cryptography API by exploring some of its use cases using live code demos in various browsers.
