Application Security Principles

When: 
Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 9:00am
Location: 
MIT Room 34-101
Lecturer(s): 
Chris Wysopal

This seminar provides an understanding of secure application design, security trade-offs, and common problems with implementing secure code. Architects, developers, and project managers will learn how to proactively integrate security principles into software engineering practices to prevent vulnerabilities from entering the code base. By focusing on the security risks inherent in the application development process, these principles can be applied to any programming language or technology.

Seminar in Detail: 
  • address security issues inherent in the application design process
  • identify assets, threats, and countermeasures
  • identify tools and techniques to achieve a secure implementation
  • identify vulnerabilities by optimizing the testing phase
  • prevent application resource and information leakage

MIT is at 77 Massachusetts Avenue, just on the north side of Memorial Drive(on the north shore of the Charles River), in Cambridge, MA.

Map showing the MIT campus. The red building is Bldg. 34; the Kendall T-Station is on Main Street off the right side of the map.

Building 34 is located on Vassar Street about half way between Main Street and Massachusetts Ave. It is a small square building turned 45 degrees to the street so it may look like a diamond, especially with a glass atrium entrance. Building 34 is set back a few yards from the street and the line of other buildings. It is between buildings 36 and 38.

Parking: Vassar Street on the other side of Mass Ave has a parking lot, a garage, and plenty of spaces on the street. MIT West Annex Lot and West Garage
