Hello, Next FOSDEM [1] will, again, have a security devroom, this time on the topic of "Hardware and Software isolation mechanisms". We'd like to invite submissions of talks and presentations from developers, security researchers and other interested representatives of open source and free software and hardware projects.
This is the call for talks and presentations that will take place in the Security devroom at FOSDEM 2015. Our topic this year: As complex software tends to have bugs, methods to contain the damage from a potentially serious bug (e.g., code injection, leak of memory contents) are required. While such methods have been known and available for a long time (HSMs and smart cards, privilege separation), it is surprising that an attack like heartbleed required the revocation of the private keys of a large part of the Internet. For that reason Hardware and Software isolation mechanisms that could mitigate such attacks, are again on the line, and the main theme of this devroom. For up-to-date submission and event information: https://github.com/security-devroom/fosdem-2015 The security devroom will be held on Sunday 1st of February 2015 in Brussels, Belgium at ULB room S.AW1.120 from 09:00 to 17:00. Feel free to forward this announcement to any relevant FOSS project mailing list.
