Protecting Information Stored Client-Side
Please see/use the 'discussion' page for more details about this Working Session
Working Sessions Operational Rules - Please see here the general frame of rules.

WORKING SESSION IDENTIFICATION
Short Work Session Description	This section will focus on providing mechanisms for protecting important or sensitive data applications and services need to store client-side. Contexts this section aims to cover include: Personal or user-specific information Application-specific information (tokens, secrets) Key configuration data, other EIS/service information For the purpose of the Portugal Summit, the session will focus on development within a "classic" N-tier Java application environment.

WORKING SESSION SPECIFICS
Objectives	Produce an informal threat model for each development scenario Impart clear and simple shared understanding of threats associated with each development scenario (and dispel common misunderstandings/idioms) Define solution that resists defined attacks Deliver solution implementation (snippets) to https://code.google.com/p/secure-coding-workshop/

WORKING SESSION ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Within the N-tier Java environment, the session will tackle the following development scenarios: 1) - Coat Check Removing information from a client Server-side storage, memento pattern Solving scale issues 2) - Purse Storing app-important information (like a purse) Resisting attack with augmented plain-text storage! Supporting back, reload, etc. Patterns & design for anti-tampering protocols 3) - Nuclear Briefcase Sensitive, opaque information Shuttling information between 3rd parties Future summits will address the following two contexts as well: Phones (ios, Android) RIA However, for the purpose of this coming session, we will only conduct planning and 'homework assignments' for these contexts in the next session (likely Minnesota). The session will work each of the three above development scenarios within the n-tier environment using the following work stream: Define problem Conduct Cigital-style Threat Model (TM) exercise Co-design solution based on particular threats and attack vectors Implement solution within provided sample application-ette Discuss testing and verification strategies for solution. Participants will be taken through the above work stream, an abbreviated 'build security in' process designed to focus on implementation (rather than documentation or assurance), to restructure applications to demonstrate security patterns, integrate existing security functionality, or build security controls as necessary.
