An article I wrote two years ago (2009) for Atomium Culture was accepted one year ago (2010) and as a consequence it will be published in many European newspapers.
I’ll be adding here the links to the articles as they get published:
Next scheduled publications:
- Irish Times (Ireland)
- Rzcespospolita (Poland)

In 2008, Miguel P. Correia and myself decided to write a book on software security. Two years (of really hard work) after, it is finally available!
The book covers many themes related to software security, namely:
- Vulnerabilities, Attacks and Intrusions
- Buffer overflows, Cross-site scripting, SQL injection
- Protecting against Copy and Modification of Software
- Software Testing and Attack Injection
- Static Code Analysis
- Dynamic Protection Mechanisms
- Virtualization
- Trusted Computing
More details about the book (in portuguese) can be found at its official website, at the publisher (FCA) website, and it can be bought online at FCA | FNAC | Wook

IBWAS’10:Ibero-American Web Application Security Conference , Nov 11-12, 2010.
Summary:
There is a change in the information systems development paradigm. The emergence of Web 2.0 technologies led to the extensive deployment and use of web-based applications and web services as a way to developed new and flexible information systems. Such systems are easy to develop, deploy and maintain and demonstrate impressive features for users, resulting in their current wide use.
As a result of this paradigm shift, the security requirements have also changed. These web-based information systems have different security requirements, when compared to traditional systems. Important security issues have been found and privacy concerns have also been raised recently. In addition, the emerging Cloud Computing paradigm promises even greater flexibility; however corresponding security and privacy issues still need to be examined. The security environment should involve not only the surrounding environment but also the application core.
This conference aims to bring together application security experts, researchers, educators and practitioners from the industry, academia and international communities such as OWASP, in order to discuss open problems and new solutions in application security. In the context of this track academic researchers will be able to combine interesting results with the experience of practitioners and software engineers.
