About the videos The streaming videos are configured to automatically select the best resolution and bandwidth for your computer.   Switching to full screen mode when playing videos on the web-site will automatically improve the image resolution for most users in about 5 to 10 seconds. 

All videos can also be downloaded in a range of resolutions in MPEG-4 video format.
Need help?A short guide to streaming and downloading videos can be found at the bottom of this page if required.

Glossary Of Terms

There are some basic security terms that we use in our presentations. You can find more information about each term by clicking on the link. It will take you to a wikipedia article on the topic.

Symmetric key cryptography:

Symmetric Key Algorithms are a class of algorithms for cryptography that use trivially related, often identical, cryptographic keys for both decryption and encryption. The encryption key is trivially related to the decryption key, in that they may be identical or there is a simple transformation to go between the two keys. The keys, in practice, represent a shared secret between two or more parties that can be used to maintain a private information link. Symmetric key encryption is faster and more efficient than public key encryption.
Public Key Cryptography:

Public key cryptography is a cryptographic approach which involves the use of asymmetric key algorithms instead of or in addition to symmetric key algorithms. Unlike symmetric key algorithms, it does not require a secure initial exchange of one or more secret keys to both sender and receiver. The asymmetric key algorithms are used to create a mathematically related key pair: a secret private key and a published public key. Asymmetric key encryption is often used to securely transmit a symmetric key, after which the sender and receiver use that symmetric key for high-speed encryption and message authentication.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI):

Public Key Infrastructureis a set of hardware, software, people, policies, and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates

Guide to Streaming Videos All videos on this website can be streamed directly from this webpage.  Select and play a video by simply clicking on it's Green Start button.  The streaming videos are configured to select the best resolution and bandwidth for your computer.  Streaming is the preferred playing method for Windows, Un*x, OS X and all platforms where Adobe/Macromedia Flash Player is supported and installed.  You can move forwards and backwards through the video as you like.

If you are having problems playing any of the streaming videos, it is most likely that you have and old version of the Flash Player installed. You can download the most recent version of Adobe/Macromedia Flash Player here.

The MPEG 4 videos are available for streaming in various resolutions ranging from 640x360p to 1900x1080p. The higher the video resolution, the more powerful your computer has to be to view it. Playing videos full screen will automatically improve the image resolution from 800x480p to 1280x720p or 1440x808 for most users.

If you see frequent pausing of video image while the audio continues without problem, there is a strong probability that your computer is having difficulty keeping up. You might try exiting full screen mode to reduce the resolution again.

Guide to MPEG 4 Videos

MPEG 4 is a modern standard for encoding high-quality videos. MPEG 4 files is ideal for all Apple products (OS X, video iPod, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV) and other platforms (or users) who do not have, or prefer not to use, Macromedia Flash.

To download the MPEG 4 files, simply click on the Save To Disk link. After saving the .MP4 file, you can play the video on most operating systems (Windows, Linux, ...) using the free VLC video player.   You can also drag the file into iTunes and then copy it onto your iPod or other portable device.

Some, but not all, web-browsers can play MPEG4 files directly. Click on Open in Browser to try this method.

For power-users, the BitTorrent link allows you to download the large files fast using any BitTorrent compliant client.

The MPEG 4 videos are available for download in various resolutions ranging from 640x360p to 1900x1080p. The higher the video resolution, the more powerful your computer has to be to view it.

If you see frequent pausing of video image while the audio continues without problem, there is a strong probability that your computer is having difficulty keeping up. Try selecting a video with lower resolution and/or downloading the video to disk before playing. The standard video size used on the website is 800x450p.

"Synaptic Laboratories is a rare company; they tackle the hard problems! Their basic approach is directly relevant to Governments and/or any commercial companies that deploy products that must function correctly in high-risk environments. They differ from most competitors in that not only do they work hard to get the concepts right, they also work very hard to assure the implementation is correct and robust as well."
