Summit 2011

Welcome

Dear OWASP Leaders and appsec community, The Summit will be held February 8th-11th in (Cascais) Lisbon, Portugal. This will be the place where appsec experts meet, discuss, work, socialize, and set the roadmap for OWASP in coming years. The Summit Activates *You* Whereas the OWASP AppSec conferences are great places to listen to interesting talks, go for training, and meet with OWASP people, the Global Summit is the place where we all sit down together and take the time to discuss and work out plans, projects and solutions for the appsec future. Examples of topics: How should we support the OWASP projects? How can we work with browser vendors to enhance security (see "Browser Day" tab above)? How should the community reach out to developers and education institutions? How often should we publish the OWASP Top 10? How can OWASP support your chapter?

Organizing Committee Lorna Alamri, Brad Causey, Justin Clarke, Paulo Coimbra, Dinis Cruz, Martin Knobloch, Dave Wichers, John Wilander, Jason Li, Tara Causey, Sarah Baso .

Who's Invited? As an OWASP leader you are automatically invited to the summit, but we also welcome leading experts from industry and academia. Together we can create a more secure web. Check the "How Do I Join?" tab above for more info.

Other local Summit(s):

• The conferences are free to organize small, conference bound summit
• this are not sponsored by OWASP of OWASP summit budget

Browser Day

One of the great challenges of application security is browser security. The browser is becoming our de facto runtime platform for applications and it comprises a whole ecosystem of plugins and web technologies.Therefore we will spend a full day working together with the leading browser vendors to penetrate current problems, new ideas, and how security fits in alongside other requirements from developers and endusers.Do not miss this chance to influence what's important in browser security in the coming years.

• Sandboxing. Is sandboxing the right way forward? Can sandboxing be harmonized with the origin policies for cookies, scripting, and ajax – i e share the same compartmentalization? How should we apply sandboxing to plugins?
• Securing plugins. Should browsers ship with default plugins? Should plugins be auto-updated? Can plugins or versions of plugins be blacklisted centrally?
• Enduser warnings. How should browsers signal invalid SSL certs to the enduser? Are we helping security right now? What to do about 50 % of users clicking through warnings?
• Blacklisting. Can we cooperate better on blacklisting? Does it work between cultures, i e can we have the same process for reporting throughout the world?
• OS integration. More and more features in browsers get integrated with the underlying operating system. Processes, fonts, filesystem, 3D graphics. How do we secure this?
• JavaScript. How do we secure the universally deployed web application language? Much focus has been on execution performance but what about security? Will EcmaScript 5 strict-mode be supported anytime soon (currently no support)? Are (more) secure "dialects" such as FBJS and Caja the way to go? What's happening in EcmaScript Harmony?
• New HTTP headers. Are new opt-in HTTP headers the right way to add security features? For example Strict Transport Security, x-frame-options, origin and Content Security Policy.
  

XSS Eradication

We will have a half day working session on Cross Site Scripting - specifically how OWASP can make 2011 the year of XSS... going away. How we help bring this about through contributing our knowledge to cornerstone projects, how we can raise the awareness through advocacy, and what we can do to ensure that OWASP and other freely available resources and made available to the wider community, and that they are aware of them.

Enterprise Web Defense Roundtable

How are enterprises defending web applications. Discussion of best practices, effective methods, and new ideas to enhance web application defense. (Session Leader: Michael Coates, Mozilla)

University Outreach

This summit will be the place to bring OWASP Educational Supporters together! What security major and minor educations are out there? How can OWASP participate and influence their curricula? How can the relationship between Universities and OWASP be standardized? What does OWASP have to offer Universities and what can they, in turn, expect from each other?

OWASP Projects

We will have a session on how OWASP should support, grow, and manage projects. This includes:
-Assessment criteria
-Orphaned projects
-Funding
-Marketing
-Commercial services

OWASP Around the World

OWASP is a fast growing global community. How should we support and manage this growth? During this session we'll look into issues of:

• Internationalization
• The global job board
• New OWASP chapters in parts of the world where we have not spread much yet

More Topics

You know how OWASP works – it's all up to you. Please edit this tab and enter topics we should cover during the Global Summit 2011! If you want you can add your name after each suggestion and we can work out the details with you.

• Discussion on Douglas Crockford's bold statement that we should stop HTML5 development, fix XSS, and then start over. Is he right? How is OWASP active in the HTML5 development? Check this webcast, jump to 20:50 to hear the XSS part. /John Wilander

Social Events

It goes without saying – the summit is all about meeting people. So there will be a constant mixture of workshops, dinners, beers and wine. We like to think of the summit as a very social event in itself.
