Philippe Biondi - Security at Kernel Level Security is a problem of trust.

Summary

Architecture and Background

Philippe Biondi - Security at Kernel Level Security is a problem of trust. Having a system that offers services to Internet and that can be trusted is very hard to achieve.

Vulnerability Analysis

Classical security models focus on the physical limit of the machine. We will see that it can be interesting to move the trust limit between user space and kernel space and that it is still possible to enforce a security policy from this trusted place.

Exploitation and Demonstrations

We will also see some practical aspects with a review of some implementations that exist for Linux kernels. Philippe Biondi is a security consultant at Cartel Sécurité.
