FOSDEM 2016 has, once again, a security devroom, this time on the topic of "Security and Privacy in modern software".
The security devroom will be held on Saturday 30th of January 2016 in Brussels, Belgium at ULB.
AKA "Security and Privacy in modern software"
Cryptography has been the foundation of modern crypto software, however, it is only a small fraction of the technology required to achieve security and privacy for users. Thus this year's topic is to focus on the other parts that make software secure: usability, the protection against side-channels, message length analysis, fingerprinting, secure coding practices, code review processes etc. We welcome presentations of security software and hardware which take into account these factors, and presentations that analyze other's solutions.
Submissions require a small abstract and a short speaker description and must be submitted via the Pentabarf system no later than Tuesday, December 10, 2015. Suggested duration for a timeslot to apply for is 25 minutes (20 min presentation + 5 mins questions). The schedule shall be finalized by Friday, December 18, 2015.
