Douglas Crockford — Ajax security

Web Directions South 2008, Sydney Convention Centre, September 26 2.40pm.

Douglas Crockford PortraitSecurity design is an impor­tant, but often neglected, com­po­nent of sys­tem design. In this ses­sion, Douglas Crockford, cre­ator of Javascript Object Notation, will out­line the secu­rity issues that must be con­sid­ered in the archi­tec­ture of Ajax applications.

The design of the browser did not antic­i­pate the needs of mul­ti­party appli­ca­tions. The browser’s secu­rity model frus­trates use­ful activ­i­ties and allows some very dan­ger­ous activ­i­ties. This talk will look at the small set of options before us that will deter­mine the future of the Web.

During this ses­sion, atten­dees will:

  • Learn why effec­tive secu­rity is an inher­ent fea­ture of good design;
  • Experience a real-​​time demo of a Ajax client/​server sys­tem based on sound secu­rity principles
  • See how to apply secure design to rich web applications.
