What your browser can teach you about software security

Explore how browsers securely handle untrusted code and uncover valuable lessons for designing robust systems from a security engineer’s perspective.

Speakers: Mark Goodwin

We take browsers for granted; they’re ubiquitous and they’ve been around for ages… But have you ever stopped to think about what they do?

They execute arbitrary code, from untrusted sources on the Internet… by design. And were supposed to be OK with that? Unsurprisingly, how they do this provides some useful lessons in how we can design and build secure systems. This talk, from a security engineer (and recovering browser engineer) takes you through some of these lessons.
