From the article:
Last year's High Confidence Software and Systems (HCSS) conference, sponsored by
NSA to address security-critical issues, featured an interesting presentation from
Microsoft addressing such issues in the context of Windows. The primary sources of
problems in Microsoft's experience are buffer overruns and integer overflow
problems.<
I have done some searching, but I have not found this presentation.
