- [Instructor] In a minute, we're going to talk about how we can use the Python documentation in order to secure our code. But before we do that, I wanted to take a moment to talk about encryption. While much of the topic of encryption is outside of the scope of this course, there really isn't software security without encryption. So things to consider are always using protocols like HTTPS. Now that certificates are virtually free, there really isn't an excuse not to. Always encrypt sensitive customer data and consider encrypting all company computers. It's pretty easy these days and that way, if a computer is stolen, it's not a tragedy, it's just a matter of buying a new one. Next, I want to talk about injection which is OWASP Top Ten's number one. Specifically, I want to show you how the Python documentation is a great resource when it comes to dealing with security. So I'm going to head over to docs.python.org/3/library…
