hi sc-l, The 41st epsiode of Silver Bullet just went live. This episode features a conversation with Fred Schneider, a computer sceince professor at Cornell and a very important thought leader in security research. Fred was the author of the seminal National Academies study "Trust in Cyberspace". We talk about the relationship between reliability and security, about fault tolerant systems, and about diversity as a security mechanism. We also talk about writing secure code, outlawing C, and the end of the age of bugs. Fred brings up the idea of categories of attack and the evolution of attacks from configuration, through bugs, to flaws and finally to trust problems.
http://www.cigital.com/silverbullet/show-041/ Fred is particularly well spoken and cogent, and it was a great privilege to chat about security with him. As always, your feedback is welcome. gem company www.cigital.com podcast www.cigital.com/realitycheck blog www.cigital.com/justiceleague book www.swsec.com _______________________________________________ Secure Coding mailing list (SC-L) SC-L@securecoding.org List information, subscriptions, etc - http://krvw.com/mailman/listinfo/sc-l List charter available at - http://www.securecoding.org/list/charter.php SC-L is hosted and moderated by KRvW Associates, LLC (http://www.KRvW.com) as a free, non-commercial service to the software security community. _______________________________________________
