Douglas Crockford: Principles of Security

In this talk from the March 5, 2012 BayJax event at Yahoo!, Douglas Crockford outlines the basic principles of designing secure software, with a focus on web applications. With his usual sardonic wit, he starts at the beginning (almost literally -- with the invention of language itself) and makes a strong case for designing secure software based on fundamental principles rather than specific techniques, tricks, or hacks.

I was okay with the outfit, then I saw the shoes... looks kinda like he's wearing heels. Love the work, but I had to window out to take it seriously.

The browser is not a prison you can smell or taste or touch. It's a prison for your mind.

Very nice talk!

Could have done without the Babel / Volapuk history lessen though, which doesn't add anything and is just a distraction.
