Security Through Diversity

Presented at The Fifth HOPE (2004), July 9, 2004, 2 p.m. (60 minutes)

Establishing a diversity of operating systems and software on the Internet is now being viewed as essential to global information security. This talk will explore how individual systems and large networks can improve their tolerance to massive attack through this principle. Copies of obscure OS's will be handed out for good questions. Interpretive dance may or may not be involved.


Presenters:

  • Adam J. O'Donnell / Javaman as Javaman
    Javaman is a Philadelphian who attempts balance living in academia, the security community, and the real world. He can usually be found in his office trying to stay on top of current research, the local diner drinking too much coffee, or the Philadelphia Walnut Factory wasting time on IRC. He also likes long walks on the beach and engaging in romantic candlelight dinners with various monomaniacal despots extracted from the course of history, brought to life by neurotransmitter imbalances.
