>If other presentations are also online, please post them to the list. -------------------------------- Java Security: How Free Software Is Secured Using the Java Language
After a general introduction to why Java seems a reasonable choice for writing large and robust free software packages, the talk discusses the security features of the Java platform. It is shown how several actors play together to ensure type safety, encapsulation and declarative access control. Four concrete denial-of-service attacks illustrate the importance of enhancing the platform by techniques for managing resource consumption. http://www.dandelis.ch/people/brawer/articles/classpathSecurity/ -------------------------------- As Mark said on this list, one of the talks in the FOSDEM security track couldn't be given, which was an unexpected opportunity to present Java security (and the existence of free Java implementations) to a broader audience. Because there was so little time for preparation, we had to mangle the general presentation into something that might be of interest to a security audience. IMHO, this just-in-time squeezing has left some visible scratches and rough edges, but the audience didn't seem to complain. Some people even came and asked how they could help Classpath. Thanks heaps to Chris, Dalibor, Mark and everyone else who helped with last-minute comments, late-night hacking, etc. Best regards, -- Sascha Sascha Brawer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.dandelis.ch/people/brawer/ _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
