Glenn Faden and I recently contributed a book chapter on Solaris Trusted Extensions (pdf version) to Trent Jaeger's new book on Operating System Security, published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book is part of the Synthesis Lectures on Information Security, Privacy and Trust. Check it out!
And I am involved with another presentation that will be given at the 2009 Sun Technology Developer Days,
short TechDays, events across the globe. Nicolas Droux and I
co-authored it, borrowing heavily from older presentations. It is
entitled "Virtualization from the Desktop to the Enterprise".
I will be delivering this talk in São Paulo, Brazil next week, back to
back with the "Developing and Deploying Securely" presentation. (Read
more about that presentation in my blog entry New Solaris Security Presentation for TechDays 2009.)
I just finished putting together the presentation that will be given at the 2009 Sun Technology Developer Days,
short TechDays, events across the globe. I'll be giving the
presentation in a few weeks in São Paulo, Brazil, others will deliver
it in Cities such as Seoul, Beijing, and London. If you've never been
to TechDays, check out the web site
- these (usually free) events are a great opportunity to learn the
latest and hottest Sun technologies. You can download the slides in PDF as well as their OpenOffice source format ODP.
The latter version includes extensive sets of notes that help to
understand the slides. The presentation includes a lot of code and
administration examples.
If you want to learn about (Open)Solaris RBAC, Privileges, the Cryptographic Framework, as well as a number of ongoing OpenSolaris security projects, this presentation is for you!
This blog entry is related to the one that Glenn Faden published recently, entitled "Running Trusted Extensions with opensolaris.2008.05". I updated Glenn's posting to describe how to get Trusted Extensions running on the OpenSolaris 2008.11 distribution. The release 2008.11 is scheduled for November this year, hence the name...
Jan Pechanec, Mark Phalan and I published a paper together entitled "New Security Features in OpenSolaris and Beyond" (pdf) at the OpenSolaris Developer Conference in Prague.
