Xpresso: an extensible and composable ASGI framework
(30 Minutes)
By: Adrian Garcia Badaracco
Experience Level: Intermediate
Slides Link

Xpresso is an extensible and composable ASGI web framework, inspired by FastAPI.

It improves on FastAPI by decoupling the dependency injection from the request/response paradigm and decoupling the framework from Pydantic, using PEP 593 annotations. This enables many nice features, like a more flexible dependency injection system, concurrent execution of dependencies and much more customizable processing of request parameters and bodies.

While TLS is foundational to our security and privacy on the internet, Mutual TLS (mTLS) takes TLS to a new level by allowing both client and server to authenticate each other. This talk will provide a brief overview of TLS, describe how mTLS builds upon TLS, will show a practical Python example of how mTLS works, and discuss how service meshes and other technologies use mTLS to secure communication between services.

SSH Can Do That? All the Things You Didn't Know About SSH
(30 Minutes)
By: Mason Egger
Experience Level: Novice

Need to access resources on a closed network? Create a secure tunnel to an insecure site? SSH has you covered. Many of us use SSH every day and only scratch the surface. In this talk, we'll dive into little-known features of SSH such as user and host configurations, security measures, tunnels, and more. Attendees will learn how to configure SSH to meet their needs, how to utilize SSH to access and protect resources, and realize their everyday tools, like SSH, have much more functionality that is perceived.
