One thing that L**** has noticed recently is that with all the advances that we have in technology, we still appear to have problems in keeping secrets to ourselves.

In this talk, *E*** will introduce the core concepts of secrets. We look at an overview as to how best we can manage secrets, from creating them to using them in our applications.

**W** will then look at the actors involved, the role of a developer consuming a secret, an engineer providing and defending them to an attacker on the lookout for some more data.

***I* will then look at ways that we can manage secrets over many environments, from development to production. Finally, we check what to do when our secrets aren't so secret anymore.

Finally, ****S will finish with case studies of where security first has won and the instances where the secrets have been given away.

This talk will focus on the implementation of secrets based on cloud technologies, but the core concepts can be used within any system and the best practices that should be followed to give you a fighting chance to keep it to yourself.
