Summary

In this chapter, we have learned some of the attacks your service may face from an intruder. We have had an introduction to how encryption works and how we can leverage Go's standard package to implement them 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 to any significant degree; it will, however, give you an edge to keep you safe.
