Detailed Abstracts and Speaker Bios

'''WebBlaze: New Techniques and Tools for Web Security''' I will present the WebBlaze project, aiming at designing and developing new techniques and tools to improve web security. WebBlaze's new technologies cover a broad range including new architectural solutions for defending against cross-site scripting attacks, tools for detecting and defending against cross-origin JavaScript capability leaks which lead to universal cross-site scripting attacks, and new approaches for secure browser extensions and web advertisements. In this talk, I will focus on two sample techniques in WebBlaze: (1) dynamic analysis and symbolic reasoning of JavaScript to detect client-side input validation vulnerabilities; (2) program binary analysis to extract security-related models from browsers to detect new classes of vulnerabilities such as content-sniffing vulnerabilities. Our techniques and tools have discovered previously unknown vulnerabilities in browsers and popular web applications. Some of the solutions in WebBlaze have been adopted by mainstream browsers and industry standards and deployed on millions of machines. ''' Bio – Prof. Dawn Song''' Dawn Song is an Associate Professor in the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley. She obtained her B.S. in Physics from Tsinghua University in China in 1996, her M.S. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in 1999, and her Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2002. Prior to joining UC Berkeley, she was an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University from 2002 to 2007. Her research interest lies in security and privacy issues in computer systems and networks, including areas ranging from software security, networking security, database security, distributed systems security, to applied cryptography. She is the recipient of various awards including the NSF CAREER Award, the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship Award, the IBM Faculty Award, the George Tallman Ladd Research Award, the Okawa Foundation Research Award, and the Li Ka Shing Foundation Women in Science Distinguished Lecture Series Award. She is also the author of multiple award papers in top security conferences, including the Best Paper Award at the USENIX Security Symposium and the Highest Ranked Paper Award at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy. Recently she was awarded the MIT Technology Review TR-35 Award, recognizing her as one of the world's top innovators under the age of 35.

'''State of the Art: Automated Black-Box Web app testing'''

Black-box web application vulnerability scanners are automated tools that probe web applications for security vulnerabilities. In order to assess the current state of the art, we obtained access to eight leading tools and carried out a study of: (i) the class of vulnerabilities tested by these scanners, (ii) their effectiveness against target vulnerabilities, and (iii) the relevance of the target vulnerabilities to vulnerabilities found in the wild. To conduct our study we used a custom web application vulnerable to known and projected vulnerabilities, and previous versions of widely used web applications containing known vulnerabilities. Our results show the promise and effectiveness of automated tools, as a group, and also some limitations. In particular, “stored” forms of Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL Injection (SQLI) vulnerabilities are not currently found by many tools. Because our goal is to assess the potential of future research, not to evaluate specific vendors, we will not report comparative data or make any recommendations about purchase of specific tools. '''Bio – Prof. John Mitchell''' John Mitchell is the Mary and Gordon Crary Family Professor in the Stanford Computer Science Department. His research in computer security focuses on web security, network security, privacy, and distributed authorization management. He has also worked on programming language analysis and design, formal methods, and applications of mathematical logic to computer science. Prof. Mitchell currently leads research projects funded by the US Air Force, the Office of Naval Research, private companies and foundations, and he is the Stanford Principal Investigator of the multidisciplinary TRUST NSF Science and Technology Center. He is a consultant and advisor to a number of companies and is the author of over 140 research articles and two books.

'''Controlling Data in the Cloud: Outsourcing Computation without Outsourcing Control''' Cloud computing is clearly one of today's most enticing technology areas. However, despite the surge in activity and interest, there are significant, persistent concerns about cloud computing that are impeding momentum and will eventually compromise the vision of cloud computing as a new IT procurement model. In this survey talk, we characterize the problems and their impact on adoption. In addition, we describe some existing research thrusts with the potential to alleviate some of the concerns impeding adoption. ''' Bio – Richard Chow''' Richard Chow works in the security and privacy group at the Palo Alto Research Center. Richard is interested in systems security, fraud detection, and privacy. Some of his achievements include architecting Yahoo!'s click-fraud protection system and the security and DRM components for Motorola's first Java-based phone platform. He has played a lead role at three startups and was also a founder of Trusted Systems Laboratories, which brought high-assurance security systems to the commercial market. Richard received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from UCLA.
