Abstract:This talk is in two parts:
  
−
Ensuring computer system security using user defined policies is a difficult problem.  One approach that is currently being researched is the application of system-level data flow analysis to ensure malicious code cannot infiltrate the system.
+
Part 1: The University of Texas at San Antonio is announcing a new technology incubator focussed on commercializing security and privacy technologies. Highlights about the incubator and how to submit a proposal will be described.
 +
 +
Part 2: Mashups are emerging as a very important web application architecture paradigm. Developers (or even the user themselves) can assemble a uber app that mashes data and code from myriad sources. This talk will first explore the emerging world of mashups and highlight the security problems that are raised, and motivate the need for a mashup trust infrastructure. It will then describe MashSSL a technology that can be used to solve several of the security problems of mashups.

The data flow analysis involved with ensuring system security needs two levels of granularity: inter-process data flow analysis and intra-process data flow analysis.  The University of Texas at Austin Department of Computer Science has created a Dynamic Data Flow Analysis (DDFA) tool that implements intra-process data flow analysis.  Purdue University has created a Process Coloring (PC) system that implements the inter-process data flow analysis.  Southwest Research Institute is working with both universities to integrate the PC and DDFA technologies to implement the system level data flow analysis solution.  This talk will focus on technical details of the two different technologies and will detail example security scenarios that can be solved using these technologies.

San Antonio OWASP Chapter: November 2008 Meeting

Topic: "Who do you want to mash with? Trust infrastructures for Internet mashups."

Presenter: Ravi Ganesan,Reseach Professor and Director of Commercialization at the Institute of Cyber Security at UTSA Date: November 17,2008 11:30am – 1:00pm

Location:

San Antonio Technology Center (Web Room) 3463 Magic Drive San Antonio, TX 78229 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3463+Magic+Drive,+San+Antonio,+TX+78229

Abstract:This talk is in two parts:

Part 1: The University of Texas at San Antonio is announcing a new technology incubator focussed on commercializing security and privacy technologies. Highlights about the incubator and how to submit a proposal will be described.

Part 2: Mashups are emerging as a very important web application architecture paradigm. Developers (or even the user themselves) can assemble a uber app that mashes data and code from myriad sources. This talk will first explore the emerging world of mashups and highlight the security problems that are raised, and motivate the need for a mashup trust infrastructure.
