Talk abstract:
Forging an Ineffective Immune Response:
Lessons from Two Decades of Computer Security
Bob Blakley
IBM
Computer system security has been built on principles very
different from those which underpin animal immune systems. These
principles have not produced systems which are good at defending
themselves against even known attacks; this talk will examine
how the organizational principles of secure computer systems
differ from those of natural immune systems and will try to
draw some conclusions about the relative merits of the two systems.
