0CERIAS Security: Dumb Ideas in Computer Security 3/6
iSpeech.org
Clip 3/6
Speaker: Dr. Charles P. Pfleeger · Pfleeger Consulting Group
Every profession goes through mistakes and unwise steps, especially in its early years. It is through trial and error that leaders and innovators of the profession are able to advance knowledge. Computer security is no exception. Both insiders' and outsiders' choices have held back and even harmed the state of computing. Of course, hindsight is usually more accurate than foresight.
This talk picks a handful of ideas that in retrospect have turned out dumb, ideas such as compound complexity, single-state hardware, downloaded code, and incomplete mediation. For each idea we will see from where the idea came, why it is unwise, and why we should have known better. From these examples, we will see how better choices can be made in the future.
