Assymetric encryption is useful if you want to encrypt data at remote server via script. In case you use bash script for symmetric encryption job, you have to store password inside this script. So, if remote server is compromized, you will loose both the encrypted data and the key to decrypt it. Assymetric encryption allows you not to store decryption key at remote machine. So, data will be in safe even if server is hacked.

I’d like to show how to use HPC part written on C++ with CUDA in Python code. So, every heavy part may be done on GPU with CUDA, all gluing tasks (with beautiful matplotlib plots) are done on CPU with Python.

You can record your screen using only command line in Linux. Workflow will look like: Create a bunch of screenshots -> Crop screenshots -> Make a movie from images.
