Advances in Linux Security
Linux security is exploding in the mobile and embedded spaces. New security paradigms based on everything from enhanced user experience to run time integrity checks are being envisioned, developed and deployed at a mind boggling pace.
This year's Security Mini-conf will focus on these new developments
and the systems that employ them. We expect to see talks on leading edge systems such as Android, Chromiumos and Tizen. There will be updates on the existing security modules and distributions.
