University of Washington Computer Science & Engineering SPOTLIGHT |
A UW CSE team has developed an alternative security architecture for Java. The work includes the implementation of a secure Java verifier, and an automatic testing methodology that covers a large number of security attacks. Application of the UW test suite against commercial Java implementations has exposed a number of security holes, weaknesses, and ambiguities in commercial Java verifiers.Kimera project overview

It was taught to teams of undergraduates from Art and Computer Science & Engineering by Professor David Salesin, Ronen Barzel (Pixar Animation Studios), and Annabella Serra (Rainsound). Guest lecturers came from Disney, Dreamworks Interactive, Microsoft, Pacific Data Images, Pixar, Rhythm & Hues, and the UW School of Music.
