Implementing Capability-Based Security for Microservices - Zack Mullaly

Summary:

In recent years, microservices have become a popular choice for teams architecting software systems at scale. Being distributed systems, architectures built on microservices come with some interesting challenges not present in monolithic applications. In this talk, we will explore difficulties that arise in implementing authorization, and will draw on the concept of capability-based security to design a solution with the goal of empowering developers to build featureful, secure software with relative ease. Zack Mullaly is the lead developer of Stratum Security's XFIL project, a post-compromise exfiltration testing service. He has previously worked on the anti-censorship software project CeNo and on the HTTPS Everywhere browser extension. Zack is also a core member of the DC416 team.

Tor ecosystem - Sukhbir Singh

Summary:

Sukhbir will talk about privacy and anonymity with Tor. This is your chance to get an insight into what a day in the life of a Tor developer looks like, understand the risks and challenges involved and how to maintain your anonymity and privacy in the wild west. Sukhbir Singh is a software developer in the applications and community team of the Tor project since 2012
