Security

Secure coding - back to basics

Erlend Oftedal

Erlend Oftedal

Erlend has worked as a developer and security consultant for over 20 years, trying to build and break many different types of systems. He spends some of his free time on security research and open source tools, and is the main author behind retire.js - a free and open source scanner for JavaScript. He is also the chapter leader of the Norwegian OWASP chapter.

In this talk we will go back a bit and discuss secure code. We will look at the constructs we are using (and not using) and why changing some of the ways we typically write our code, can have security benefits. We will grab some elements from (modern) Domain Driven Design and see how we can use this to avoid or limit vulnerabilities.
