[SC-L] Microsoft's message at RSA

2008-05-05 Thread Gary McGraw
hi sc-l,

Here's an article about Mundie's keynote at RSA.  It's worth a read from a 
software security perspective.  Somehow I ended up playing the foil in this 
article...go figure.

So what do you guys think?  Is this end-to-end trusted computing stuff going to 
fly with developers?

Hi Gary,

I think they are doing it, Cardspace is the key enabling technology to 
making it happen. Given how many enterprises are federation-enabled (and 
how simply the rest can be), the biggest missing piece right now is that 
we need an Identity Provider for the Internets.

Of course this only helps to solve the access control problem, not the 
defensive programming problem, you can still shoot yourself in the foot 
with SAML and WS-* (Brian Chess and I gave a talk on this at RSA). But 
at least it will be nice to have the banks and brokerage houses stop 
having people type their username and passwords into web browsers, and 
then blaming the consumer when things go amiss.

And if you want to listen to it, there it is as well.

with special Belgian beers at the Monasterium (near the conference
location).

In what is also becoming a tradition, there will be a cocktail party the
night before the conference begins, sponsored by Breach Security. The free
and open for all conference attendees event will be held at the Vintage Wine
Bar at 6:30pm (near the conference location). We would appreciate it if you
let us know if you are coming so we can be ready, please mail
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to confirm.

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a worldwide free and
open community focused on improving the security of application software.
Our mission is to make application security visible, so that people and
organizations can make informed decisions about application security risks.
