Attacking XML Security Presented by: Brad Hill, iSEC Partners

Abstract: Brad will present his ongoing research into attacking the XML Digital Signature and Encryption standards that underpin the security of Web Services, mobile code, SAML, federated identity systems and more. The talk will begin with a high-level, critical take on the emerging conventional wisdom about message-oriented security and continue with a detailed discussion of design and implementation weaknesses in the standards. Technical material will include a root cause analysis of the recent iSEC advisory on cross-platform, remote code execution vulnerabilities discovered in multiple XML Digital Signature products.
