AppSensor Summit at AppSec USA 2011
Following a successful training course yesterday with great group of delegates, today I attended the OWASP AppSensor Project working group at AppSec USA 2011.
The AppSensor Summit was held to review the project's recent developments and activities, and to gather ideas from existing and new contributors to create a future roadmap. It was good to meet at long last John Melton, AppSensor's lead programmer, and catch up with Michael Coates and Ryan Barnett.
The summit also attracted a diverse range of developers, architects, users and security vendors. There were probably about 10-12 people attending all day, with a few more popping in and out as their timetables and other commitments allowed. The discussions defined the contents for a new book, an AppSensor development life cycle, an integration plan and a new concept to modularise the analysis engine to simplify integration with application software. The idea of creating a set of example usage profiles was also suggested. I think my name is down to help mainly with a new version of the AppSensor book, but I hope I can contribute with some of the interface definitions for interactions with the analysis engine, and possible signalling/exporting functionality.
The meeting notes are available, so if you have any comments or suggestions, please add them there, or discuss them via the project's mailing list.
The talks at the conference begin tomorrow.
