Newspeak: A Paradigm for Architectural Security
Wednesday
May 7th, 2008
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Grand Ballroom A/B (2nd Floor)
Session Type: General Session
Most computer security problems arise from buggy code. It seems clear that writing large, bug-free programs is and will remain beyond our abilities.
