Real World Application Security

This presentation, on security issues, is given by Chris Seary, Charteris plc.  Chris will be sharing his background both as a developer and as an auditor of large scale applications. 

The talk will focus on common pitfalls in development, touching on all aspects of the lifecycle, from design through to testing and deployment. Different technologies used within the Microsoft technology stack will be analysed, demonstrating how tools have progressed. 

Although Microsoft technologies are used for the demonstrations, much of the advice is applicable to other platforms. The presentation will also cover security solutions directly under the control of developers, such as WS-Security and fine-grain applications of encryption.
