Computer security

The issue isn't whether you're being paranoid; it's whether you're being paranoid enough.


Talk

Talk at Meetup 20170518


Abstract

Together we'll explore how deep your paranoia should go.
For a while now I've been following events in computer security land. Reading blogs, watching videos, attending a conference, etc. The more I learn, the more paranoid I'm becoming. And I'm convinced that paranoia is the only way of approaching anything related to security.

I'll share some of the insights I've had, and make you paranoid about the technology you're working with every day.
Note that I will NOT be talking about how to write secure code. This talk will go beyond that. The question will be : assume the code you've written is perfectly secure, where does that leave you?
