DeepSec 2014 „Do you want to know more?“,
Unknown date/time
(Unknown duration)
Current methodology in nearly every organisation is to create data validation gates. But when an organisation implements a cloud-based strategy, these security-quality gates may inadvertently become bypassed or suppressed. This talk discusses a methodology to encapsulate the validation at the object level, thus allowing each object to have validated or sanitised data at any given point in time.
Two kinds of patterns will be discussed, a validated object pattern and a tokenised object pattern. Examples of use-cases will be detailed for the delegates.
Advantages and possible pitfalls of these patterns in security design will also be reviewed.
Examples will be given in several main programming languages.
