This tutorial will introduce the conceptual issues currently faced
in information security and move on to examine the relationship between
security and OOP, investigating examples like the CORBA security
architecture.
Audience: This tutorial is indeed for
researchers and practitioners who want to get a more thorough
understanding of general security issues so that they can better assess
the contributions OOP can make to security.
Required experience: None, other than
interest in security issues; the less preconceived ideas about security
the better.
Presenter's profile: Before joining
Microsoft Research, Dieter Gollmann was the first Course Director of the
MSc in Information at Royal Holloway, University of London. He has
published a textbook on 'Computer Security' and is a co-editor-of-chief of
Springer's International Journal of Information Security.
