Summary

In this chapter, we have learned some of the attacks your service may face from an intruder. We, hopefully, should have an introduction on how encryption works and how we can leverage Go's standard package to implement these to keep our service safe. There is little you can do to completely protect yourself from a determined attacker; however, using the simple techniques described in this chapter should form your standard working practice. Implementing many of these techniques will not slow down your development cycle by any significant degree; it will, however, give you an edge to keep you safe.
