The Delaware chapter of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is holding its monthly meeting tonight, and it’s called “Escaping the Sandbox: The Browser Trust Model vs. the Bad Guys.”
Randy Westergren, a senior software developer for Media, Pa.-based XDA Developers, will be the speaker.
The browser trust model is all about how client-side data is stored and transmitted, but it has some weaknesses that allow “bad guys” to attack it. Westergren will talk about the finer points of how the browser trust model works, vulnerabilities that can be exploited and strategies for safeguarding against attacks.
Organizer David Rhoades is excited that Westergren is speaking. “He doesn’t like to brag, but he’s kind of a big deal,” Rhoades said in an email.
The event is 6:15 p.m. at Wilmington University.
