Meeting agenda

17:00 - 17:30, Welcome and sandwiches

17:30 - 17:45, OWASP Gothenburg Local Chapter - who are we, what do we do?

Introduction to the Gothenburg chapter, co-Leaders and Board-members, and the vision for making Gothenburg to a more interesting place for people interested in security.

17:45 - 18:45, OWASP Top 10 - DEMO

Per Josefsson and Ulf Larson walks through the latest version of the top list and demonstrates a few of the attacks.

OWASP Top 10 is a list of the ten most dangerous threats with respect to application security. The latest version is from 2010 and the next version is expected during 2013.

18:45 - 19:00, Short break

19:00 - 19:30, Web application security from a programming language perspective

15 years ago the concept of "Same-Origin Policy" (SOP) was introduced. SOP controls the interaction between web browser components. Current web applications differ radically in how they interact and they also use certain "hacks" to bypass the outdated policy. Jonas Magazinius introduces ongoing research at Chalmers University regarding programming language security and how a fine granular policy can replace SOP by allowing more interaction without compromising security.

19:30 - 20:30, Beer

Omegapoint are sponsors and there will be lighter food and beers. Omegapoint is located at Rosenlundsgatan 3, Göteborg. The event will start at 5 pm and end around 8 pm. To sign up for the event go [here http://owaspgbg-aug2011.eventbrite.com/].

July 4th, 2011 - OWASP-Gothenburg opens!

Finally, OWASP Gothenburg has been formed, bringing application security closer to developers and security professionals on the west coast of Sweden. Ulf, Mattias and Jonas, the local chapter leaders, welcome members!

Please, join our mailing list. NOTE that when signing up for the mailing list, you will be joining the OWASP Sweden list and not the Gothenburg list. This is because the Gothenburg and Sweden chapters collectively decided to use only one list.

Everyone is welcome to join us at our chapter meetings. Are you interested in helping out? Do you have ideas for great invited speakers or workshop meetings? Feel free to contact the chapter.
