 Building Secure Systems 
 

Session Chair : Lenore BLUM, Int'l Computer Science Institute, Berkeley, USA

Abstract

In this talk I'll survey a number of security systems related to e-commerce, smart cards, pay-tv, and cellular telephony. I'll analyse their strengths and weaknesses, and describe the methodologies used in their design and the lessons learned from their deployment.
