Presentation
abstract:
This talk will discuss the gap between
industry and academia in the security arena with an emphasis on real world
examples and scenarios. As a backdrop we shall discuss seemingly innocuous but
pervasive timing bugs and show the manner in which these lead to serious
vulnerabilities. The broader goal is to demonstrate how a lack of defensive
thinking ultimately leaves applications vulnerable, and hopefully serve as a
call to arms to include basic security /thinking/ into undergraduate courses.
