1. SeminarSecuring the Open WebSpeaker: YvanBoily, Mozilla CorporationDate/time: November 15th, 2013, 11:00-12:30Venue: 3D01 • Abstract: Since the release of Firefox in 2004 the way that users interact with the web has changed dramatically as browsers become more complex and the capabilities of web applications reach parity with native applications. Understanding how to test and secure web applications in this environment is a challenging prospect, but this session will provide insight into modern browser security features, and some of the capabilities and tools for building secure applications. • Brief bio of the speaker: Yvan works on building communities in the regions he live in. While in Winnipeg, he ran the OWASP Winnipeg chapter and was involved with IPAM; now in Vancouver, he runs OWASP and participates in teaching the tech community about security. When not working on that, Yvan manages Web sites and service security for Mozilla; they have hundreds of sites that serve literally hundreds of millions of users, and support Firefox, Firefox for Android, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Firefox OS. He also designed Minion, an open source security as a service. He has presented at AppSecUSA, BSidesSF, BSidesSeattle, and organized BSidesVancouver, and delivered several presentations on air.mozilla.org. He has given guest lectures at several academic institutions, including Red River Community College and the University of Manitoba.
