Speaker:
Hadi Nahari, Independent Security Architect.
Security is arguably one of the most critical and controversial aspects of any software project. Most software is designed and implemented with the main focus on Time-To-Market (TTM) and its required features. As a result, the majority of software solutions lack the security features necessary to protect against attacks. This phenomenon is not limited to enterprise; the majority of mobile operating systems and application frameworks also suffer from this deficiency. The high growth in mobile Linux space, along with stringent security requirements in resource-constrained, embedded devices are accompanied by inevitable security risks hence the need for a trusted and secure design.
This session gives an overview of fundamental security threats against mobile Linux environments and offers solutions to address the above-mentioned fundamental problem. Concrete methods to establish a verifiable trust with the mobile Linux computing environment such as Mandatory Access Control (MAC) Network Access Control (NAC) and Secure Isolation will also be discussed.
